BACK TO EARTH WITH A BUMP – experiences of an owner
A blog about motorboats? Are you serious? Why would sailors want to read about stinkboats? We know what they’re like, we know we don’t like them and that, frankly, is that. But then along comes the Hinckley Picnic Boat…continue

REFLECTIONS
A couple of decades in the stern embellishment business have given me the opportunity to set foot on, or at the very least cast my eye over, the great majority of the thousands of different yacht designs produced around the world. While I have an obvious interest in – and something of an obligation to consider – the rest of the boat as well, it is the aft end of the beast that I regard as my specialist subject. CONTINUE
Written by Dick Koopmans:
Designing Golya was a real pleasure, A lot of designs are designed around an interior, but not with this yacht. She is in the first place a sailing yacht. There still where some challenging requirements. She must be able to sail as a shorthand ocean racer while also it must be possible to trailer her. In races like OSTAR and Round Britain, there is a minimum length of 30 ft. (9,14 m). On the road, the with is limited to 2,5 m and from keel to top 3.65 m (depending on trailer type) is the limit.

EVER-PRESENT
Whenever the ARC pitched its tent in Las Palmas, Elaine Bunting was sure to be there ready on the dockside at the Muelle Deportivo. Even back in the days of Jimmy Cornell, she represented the straightforward and unpretentious link between sailors who had already taken the plunge and set sail and their countless counterparts back home for whom a rear view of Las Palmas remained a more or less distant dream. Elaine understood implicitly that nothing – nothing – is more valuable to sailors still in the planning phase than real, practical experience. Continue reading

Albin Vega zu Besuch auf Tahiti
Hallo Peter Foerthmann,

Gruss aus Papeete
