This summer I'll be at de Fluessen in the Netherlands for two weeks, and I'm taking an Ent and a Laser with me. Does anybody know if there are any sailing clubs nearby that do races? My Dutch isn't good enough to find out myself...

This may be too late for you, but there is hardly a single person in the Netherlands who doesn't speak English, so just ask when you get there.

Lovely friendly people and good sailors!

Yes, indeed, I'm back now. But you are perfectly correct, all friendly and happy to talk to fellow sailors! In the end I didn't get to race, but watched several races of 20m flat-bottomed big ships (" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sk%C3%BBtsje" rel="nofollow - Skûtsjes "), which was quite an event.
