2020 almost done
December 24, 2020
21 December 2020 2020 is coming to an end. While trying to stay out of all the cliche’s, let me just share some thoughts with you. The sailing world is trying to manage it’s way through the COVID-19 pandemic. Personally I did a few J/70 training sessions at times when the regulations allowed and I […]

2020 => 2021
July 12, 2020
Dear Crew and dear followers, Sadly we’ve had to decided to keep WINSOME mothballed for the rest of the season. At this stage, there is too much uncertainty about the rest of the 2020 season. It is highly unlikely that there will be any serious racing this year. Without FlyBe or a successor and the […]

Luna remains in her shed in Yarmouth. I remain at some 80 Nm from Cowes: with Sophie at her very nice country house/farm in Normandy. There […]

Quarantine
March 25, 2020
Berthon’s Boat Yard will be closed due to the COVID-19 measures taken by the British government. At present WINSOME is in Berthon’s painting facilities and will stay there for now. We cancelled all WINSOME sailing until 1 June 2020, in line with Dutch regulations. Regards, Boj
