• Start at Jachthaven 'T Eibertsnest in Kuikhorne, here you can rent electric sloops. From the port, sail to the left onto the Nieuwe Vaart. After boarding, call the Camping Zilveren Maan, Herre then opens the first lock on the left after passing the campsite. Here you sail on the Falomstervaart.
• Sail past the village of Falom and possibly moor to take a walk through the Houtwiel area.
• Sail along the Kruiswater and through the Feanwâldster Feart, turn right the first option. Here you pass the Wâlsterslûs: Koekoekspaad Feanwâlden, a self-service lock.
• Via Looden Hel you turn left onto the Loddenhel and then the first option to the right to the Wâlster Mûzeryd. You could deviate from the route here by not sailing to the right but straight ahead towards the Feanwaldsterwâl. Here you can take a break at eatery Dûke Lûk. When the lock has passed you will arrive on the Electric Only route. You now sail on the Mûzeryd.
• Sail left towards Ryptsjerk and pass the self-service lock at Ryptsjerk: It Klaasslúske.
• Sail through Ryptsjerk on the Ryptsjerkster Feart to The Big Wheels.
• There is a charging station at the De Grote Wielen terminus at the jetty. When you rent a sloop at Jachthaven Kuikhorne (Eibertsnest) the sloop can be picked up by them in consultation. It is of course more fun to sail back.
