Onderwerp: Fellowship 28 - Markermeer

Hello again! After a few months off due to health issues, i haven't been sailing (unfortunately).

But from Easter until this past weekend (4/5 May), I have sailed some 200 miles on the Markermeer, with some great sunny and windy days, and also some exciting heavy weather for the first time (4th of May i had gusts up to 38 knots, which were a first to me ).

For the ones who haven't read my posts from before, I am new to sailing (less than a year experience) and acquired my Fellowship 28 in January, so i'm still getting to know her. And I love her every time more: she behaves very well on heavy winds, and for a boat this size and age, i was suprised i could reach a peak of 8 knots once - i never thought she could go past 6, i always thought Fellowships were very slow cruisers.

But enough talking, since this thread is for sharing visual experiences.
Here are some of the videos and photos i took from these last days, hope you enjoy it!

(And still, excuse me for the English post).















If you know the owner of this JI 6, please send him the video! What a beautiful boat.

Nice pics en video.
I take my fenders always inside the boat during saling.

I am pretty sure I passed you this weekend. At leas I saw a "F28" with fenders out on the markermeer...

Leaving the fenders out is a practical substitute for flying the german flag...

when i’m singlehanding in heavywinds i really don’t bother stowing the fenders, i leave them
on deck. it’s not pretty but it’s one less trip to the deck.
