Saturday I made a sailing trip from Den Helder to Amsterdam over the sea.
The trip from Den Helder to IJmuiden (40 miles) took us only 4 hours!!
It is a lovely wooden schooner of approximately 16 meter.
Designed by John G. Alden and built in 1985.
It took the first owner 12 years to built and he did a marvellous job.
Roy, the owner, is the harbourmaster of the marina where my boat is on the hard.
Here are a few pictures.
