| I am a passionate sailor now for more than 40 years, the last 25 years on my Koopmans 44 Pilothouse Centreboard. A few years ago I realised that I should not sail the dreamed circumnavigation with my own yacht and decided to be watchleader on other SY all over the world. The first experience was Ushuaia Valparaiso with a Dutch solosailor. That was great. Since than I had a lot of nice sailingtrips and decided last year to sell my own boat. I am very flexibel and like to do navigation and the nightwatches. I mention my blog on waarbenjij.nu but it is not up to date. I am using now polarsteps | |
