In may 2009 the solo sailing race for little ships will start from Plymouth, England, to Newport, USA.
At the moment there are already 29 entries of which are 7 dutch sailors!!
One of the participants is Uwe Rottgering, a german solo sailor, with a boat very much like mine.
The name is FanFan and the type is a Greyhound! Also a Dick Zaal design.
The first owner Hans van Hest has sailed the Twostar in the eighties with this boat.
Uwe has made a circumnavigation and written a book about this trip.
See his website: http://www.seefieber.de
Now after a very thorough refit he plans to sail the Ostar 2009.
He was so kind to send me some photo's which I present here.
