Travelogues

What do you do when you are in a foreign harbour and COVID takes you by surprise? What does the harbour look like and what are the possibilities? Willem de Graaf’s Trintella IIIa Ros Beyaert is in Alicante. Willem describes how he has gone on several trips despite COVID, and what sort of things he had to consider. Interesting and educational. You can download an printable pdf version here.

Paul Droulers from France has realised his boyhood dream: at the end of 2015 he –alone- crossed the Atlantic Ocean with his Trintella IIa. Paul convinced his wife and children, took three months absence from work and embarked on his yacht ‘Blondine’.

Every English person we asked about the Scilly Islands on the way commended the islands. They were said to be idyllic. You have to see it, is what two motor yacht sailors told us in Little Hampton. They even gave us brochures.

 This (2019) summer, sv Persistence (1977 Tyler Victory 48 / Trintella V) completed a 1900nm round trip from Seattle, Washington to Ketchikan, Alaska.
