UPDATE 10 APR 2021 ! After consultation with an expert I've decided to replace the nylon bolts with Stainless ones. Please do your own research!

Goedemorgen, middag of avond!

Jan, Sacha and Stef nice to e-meet you! Great to learn you found this video which is a stap in our aim to set sail in 2024 on our Koopmans aluminum 36 foot Sailboat Wind Rose.

The plan has been conceived in 2006 and we have been working towards it ever since. With the purchase of Wind Rose, our go anywhere center board aluminum sailboat, we committed to our departure.

We don't know the destination(s), the duration or the route yet but we do know we want to make the change and explore the world. At least for a year but who knows what happens.

Why 2024 you might wonder. Something with school and the hope Stef will join us at least parts of the trip. Also, we have to improve our sailing skills, our comfort level doing so and do some upgrades to Wind Rose anyway. Which basically means we started our sailing adventure already. It’s just part time iso full time ;).

Here on YouTube we take you along in our preparation with regular updates. Because we learn from it but also to show you that you can actually alter course if you put your mind to it.

This episode is about finishing the repair of the aluminium water tanks of our Koopmans 36 sailboat. The first part showed all the heavy lifting. This episode is about finishing the job. Small jobs, somewhat bigger jobs and scary jobs.

It's also about the sail back home and thus the first real test if everything was as it was supposed to be. And you've guessed it, "met het zicht op de haven" something else got quite exiting.

Trudesign thru hull's
