Started sailing in 2022 and took some courses to get to know my way around the boat, sea and tidal streams. A few months later I bought my Friendship 35 and made some nice trips in the Netherlands and North Sea. My first overseas trip was to Great Britain in 2025 and did it Solo

There were waves from North and wind forma East. Boat was going up and down a rollercoaster. No sails and just genaker. On my way just after a busy trafic lane I heard a crack and my rudder was gone. Had to call on emergency frequency for help and KNRM arrived. The crack has been there for a long time I think but Holliday is over. Big thanks to KNRM which I supported already because it is all funded by volunteers .
