Antonio,
Thanks for that link to those incredible pics! While one can only imagine
what it is really like, a vega sailor can get a more personal picture. The
chills that I got from those exciting pictures weren't just from the ice.

Those pictures are something else but the text is available also as I just
discovered.

Hi Antonio,
Where did you find the pics of the 'Berserk' on internet? By the way: do
you know what 'Berserk' means? Something like a 'devil' in the good way of
speaking, going strong.
If enough people are interested, I can translate the article in English.
Ciao,

Dear Yvonne,
According to my old "Oxford advanced learner's dictionary of
current English" berserk means "uncontrollably wild". I hope the Vega didn't
react in this way. Anyway, this is a brave man.

Hi Flor,
In my dictionary I found: "go berserk = razend worden" (in Dutch). I think
that you, living in Belgium, can understand what it means: uncontrollably
wild.
What is the homeport of your 'Mohana'? We have not yet planned the
destination of our summer vacation. Maybe, maybe we sail to the Belgian coast.
In 2002 we sail to the I(nternational) F(rienship) R(egatta) in Denmark
with a Dutch fleet. If you are interested in joining our fleet, just let me
know. I don't know where, I don't know when, but we can keep in touch.
Since when are you the owner of your old lady 'Mohana'?
Something personal: are you woman or man?

Hello Yvonne,
I can indeed understand the Dutch
translation.
After having been a windsurfer for years
(competion, bad weather etc.) and having sailed in friends' boats, my wife,
Nanine, and I (now you know that I'm male) decided that sailing might be more
interesting for us and I think it's also more social.
Abour a year ago I bought a 13 foot
"Vaurien" which I renovated last winter and spring. But as this is quite a
small boat, we also decided to look around for a bigger one ... to make
things short, we bought the "Mohana" last December and haven't been able to sail
her yet (articles in "Sailing Today" and "Practical Boatowner" helped us to
make our decision).
At the moment she is at "Veerse Meer"
(Oranjeplaat), which is I think not unknown to you, and as she had been
neglected for some time, we've already spent quite a lot of hours abord
cleaning, repairing etc. but we've enjoyed every minute of it.
Let's hope the weather will improve
because I want to put the antifouling on and repair the crazes (Has anybody else
had this problem? How did you solve the problem?) which worry me.
She will be put in the water on 1 April
and then we (an experienced friend and I) hope to sail her to Nieuwpoort
(Belgium), her new homeport.
If you and your husband decide to sail
this way, always welcome. I'm also interested in the IFR, I hope we'll be a bit
more experienced by then.
Bye for now,
