In my childhood I sailed on the lakes of Friesland. I achieved the Dutch CWO level 2 keel sailboat diploma. Recently (april 2026) I achieved CWO level 1 (competent crew) for sail yachts. Since 2025 I own a 28 ft. Jeanneau Aquila. My 2026 goal is dusting off my sailing skills, getting familiar with my boat and solo and small crew sailing.

One reef and half rolled out Genoa were adequate for the 15-20 knots of wind. Good practice with jibes.

Smooth first time solo sailing on an almost empty Heegermeer. New Tiller Tamer system worked like a charm: enables fixating the helm with adjustable tension. Excellent weather conditions. App. 2-3 Bft winds. I sailed alongside another yacht for a while.

Installed sails on new rigging and sailed our maiden voyage. We encountered katabalic wind, thunderstorm, heavy rain and winds… and got to our destination safely.
