Vandaag ben ik van mijn ankerplaats verhuisd naar Cowes Marina. Het is er erg druk want deze week is er de Swan European Regatta. Er ligt een uitgelezen selectie schitterende Swan zeilboten waaronder veel Nederlandse.
That is the name of my sailingboat which I purchased in june 2008. She is a Grey-One 38 built in 1985. Dimensions 11.85 m x 3,42 m x 2,11 m. Design: Dick Zaal, aluminiumhull, superstructure and deck. Round bilged hull, keel with trim rudder, displacement approx. 7,5 tons, ballast 2,4 tons (lead), vertical tiller.
My passion is solosailing. I have been sailing now for approx. fifty years, starting with a sail on a kayak end ending up in multihulls. I just finished a three years solosailing trip in my catamaran "We Two Are One" around the atlantic. Recently I sold this catamaran and purchased the aluminium monohull "Greyhound". Right now (summer 2008) I am renovating this boat and preparing her for my next solosailing adventure.
