We've had a last minute cancellation for the Lemsteraak trip in Holland in June. It's for the bunk cabin with 2 berths. Let us know if you can come along. These weeks are a fantastic introduction to European canal cruising as well as exploring the lovely Frisian Islands. Your cabin awaits! Join us for a week of sailing aboard a traditional Dutch "Lemsteraak" to explore the shallow seas of the Frisian Islands and travel inland via the Dutch Canals. Depending on whether we will be able to visit 3 or 4 of the lovely Frisian Islands. In this area it's important to take tides and currents into consideration so we will go over tidal calculations and methods.
S/V Sea Glass, a 2011 Leopard 46 catamaran designed by Morrelli and Melvin, is one of the last of their most successful performance cruising catamaran models. Our three-cabin owner model has never been chartered, has no storm or lightning damage, has been well cared for and diligently maintained. A USCG documented vessel, Sea Glass is available now and is located in Maine. She is turn-key and ready for new owners to sail south for the 2023/4 season. With a 73’ air draft, the standing rigging includes a factory installed compression post for improved sailing performance and a collapsible bowsprit. The sail package includes a Doyle mainsail and furling Genoa, Quantum Code Zero on a continuous furler and two asymmetrical spinnakers with dowsing socks. All sails are in good condition for cruising. Twin Yanmar 4JH-5E (~3.7k hrs./ea.) diesels with SD-60 transmissions/sail drives received 1,000 hr. servicing to Yanmar spec in 2022. A 9kW Northern Lights genset (~6.0K hrs) (also received the manufacturer's required maintenance schedule in 2022/3); Lifeline AGM house battery bank totaling 810A/hr coupled with 1,120 watts of new solar panels (two rigid 400-watt NEC Alpha and two flexible 160-watt Sol-Go panels) are installed on the cockpit and helm decks. https://www.catamaransite.com/catamarans-for-sale/leopard-46-6/
When you sail into Rotterdam from the North Sea, starting at Hoek van Holland to the Veerhaven, it is about 2 hours of sailing in a busy area of Holland. On the Maas, there are a lot of boats (watertaxis, containerships, workboats, etc). Luckily you are supported by control posts that guide you into the right direction on the water.
J109 Going to Red hit the front early in the Portaferry Regatta 2025. Big Sails win big races and fortune favoured the brave with the Redline Racing Team making the big call to set the A2 at the start and blast downwind to enter the lough at over 15 knots over the ground. With the sun shinning both on the bay and the crew it made a great spectacle for the passengers on the Strangford Ferry. The team at bottom up boats hope you are enjoying the short bits from the 2025 racing season.
