View From the Chair
No sooner had I penned the “View from the Chair” last winter, suggesting
that members would appreciate checking out the Discovery Yachts Web
Site, than we received the unwelcome news that Discovery (then builders of
the Southerly range) had gone into Administration.
In a previous (legal) incarnation, Discovery Yachts based in Lymington and
Southampton had taken over the building of some of the Southerly range of
yachts when the original builders, based at the Northshore Shipyard, went
into administration for the second time in 2014.
Are you with me so far?
That previous version of Discovery Yachts ran into problems when they
were hit with a compensation claim that exceeded £1m. That case related
to a non Southerly boat supply that seems, on the surface, to have been
badly handled. As the judge’s gavel came down on the case, it was
announced that a new incarnation of Discovery would take over in what is
known as a pre-pack administration. After certain resignations, a new
Discovery was born and a new major shareholder was introduced into the
mix. There was also a crowd funded scheme to raise new capital for the
Company which continued to build the Southerly range of yachts alongside
the Discovery mono hulls and the Bluewater catamaran.
The most recent problems seem to have arisen when the main shareholder
withdrew his support just before Christmas 2021. The news crept out in an
odd manner, as I spotted a Facebook post from them on 15 December
which was quickly withdrawn. Further rumours circulated and
administrators were formally appointed in January 2022.
I feel for their staff (and am sure that you do too) to receive this news just
before Christmas and (apparently) without formal announcements.
I also feel hugely for those who had boats in build with Discovery as I have
heard rumoured that several budding owners lost substantial deposits.
In the way that boat builders tend to organise themselves, any material
assets (moulds, patents, intellectual property etc) were held in a separate
company to the company doing the selling and building. The company that
went into administration had very few actual assets which means that most
Page 4
View From The Chair
suppliers and clients can expect to receive very little compensation.
Hopefully, the staff received their entitlement to redundancy pay, even if
the taxpayer footed the bill.
I guess that building big ticket boats during a period of economic
uncertainty (Covid and supply issues) is not that easy.
The good news is that it appears that a new builder, Ocean Shipyard have
stepped up to plate and will continue to build Southerlies into the future.
Their web site states “Ocean Shipyard was started very recently after the
sad demise of the Discovery Shipyard. Ocean Shipyard is the ambition of
Steve Edwards formerly the General Manager of the Discovery Shipyard,
and veteran of British boatbuilding with over 36 years experience, from
Aston Martin, to Superyachts. Steve’s intention is to offer Shipyard Services
to other marine and non marine businesses and clients, in particular the
capability of Ocean Shipyards well equipped Joinery and refit facilities, that
has already received a great response from the market. In addition Ocean
Shipyard has secured the exclusive rights to build Southerly and Bluewater
yachts with full access to all the intellectual property and tooling required.”
I for one wish them well. Steve Edwards does in fact seem to be building his
own Southerly as part of the new structure and has recently joined the
SOA.

Mutiny—refusing to obey the legal order of a superior. If a whole ship’s
company mutinied, only the ringleaders were executed! However, on 16
April 1797 every ship in the Channel Fleet refused to put to sea during the
Napoleonic Wars. By May many of the more hated officers had been
removed and the seamen were pardoned and food and rates of pay
improved. Sometimes it works!

Editorial
Many thanks to Nigel for bringing us up to date with the situation for
Discovery/Southerly yachts. You will see the advertorial from Ocean
marine, the latest owners later in the magazine. Thanks also to David
Thomas for his meticulous preparation and presentation of our accounts
and to Les for his secretarial duties and the minutes from the AGM.
So many of our long winter evenings are taken up with dreaming and
planning our summer sailing trips, whether in our local area or venturing
further afield. Some of which bear fruit and others are probably put on the
backburner for another year. Are there ever enough days in the season to
realise our wishes? We are so pleased in this edition of the magazine that
Natascha and Jochen Schaefer of S/Y Caroline and Todd and Milisa Neville
of Cerulean, who must have spent many hours planning their trips, have
turned their plans into actions and now share their trip accounts for us all
to enjoy. Thank you very much to them for sending in their logs and stories.
And to Abel and Adrienne Van Staveren for their article and to Eileen
Luther and Richard Palmer showing us the full range of activities sailors
enjoy.
Nick and I have taken the huge step of retiring early and are starting to
realise our dreams of sailing for 6 months of the year. How wonderful it is
to have the freedom now to work with nature and the weather rather than
adhere to the arbitrary deadline of a 2 week holiday and the prospect of
work on Monday morning. We are happily editing the magazine in Kilmore
Quay, Ireland after a wonderful trip to the Isles of Scilly, Lundy and Skomer.
We wish you all the very best for a wonderful season and implementing as
many of those plans as possible. Please send in your logs and articles for
the winter magazine when you can.

Secretary's report
th
A lot has happened since 24 April 1982, when 25 members attended the
inaugural AGM of the Southerly Owners Association at Northshore,
Itchenor. At the time, only 3 models had been produced; the S28, S95 and
the S33/105. 17 models, 3 builders and over 1000 yachts later, there is still
a great deal of interest in owning a Southerly. What the future holds is
difficult to predict, but we wish Ocean Shipyards every success in the
continued production of Southerlys.
th
The numbers at this year SOA AGM, held on 19 March at the Maritime
Club Portsmouth, were down on pre Covid years, but this was
understandable. However, it was reported that membership numbers
continue to grow – over 500 for the first time – and the bank balance of
over £17,000 was very healthy.
At the AGM there was only one change to the committee. After five years
as Membership Secretary, Gusti Taylor stood down. For many new
members, Gusti has been the first point of contact with the SOA and she
has done a splendid job. We are fortunate to have Minh Tran volunteering
(the Chairman’s powers of persuasion!) to take over as Membership
Secretary. For her years of support to the SOA, Gusti was presented with
the Swing Keel Trophy. Full details of the AGM, together with the other
awards, and the results of the photographic competition, are in the AGM
minutes printed elsewhere in the magazine.
Finally, it was good to hear Mike Edwards, our Events Coordinator
announcing a full list of rallies and events for the coming year. Please give
him your full support, and let up hope for settled weather and an enjoyable
sailing season in 2022.

Minutes of the Southerly Owners Association AGM, held on Saturday 19
March 2022, at the Maritime Club Portsmouth; and on Zoom.
Present: There were 34 members present with another 10 on Zoom. Apologies
were received from 9 members.
The Chairman welcomed everyone to the meeting and confirmed that the minutes
of last year’s AGM had been printed in the magazine and circulated with the agen-
da for those present.
Treasurer’s Report:
Copies of the report were circulated and David Thomas confirmed that income had
increased from £9,600 to £10,400, mainly due to new members. Other income had
reduced, and there had been expenditure on the website together with new mem-
ber’s folders. The balance stood at £17,209. Mike Donnelly, our Accounts Examin-
er, had inspected and signed the accounts. David thanked him for his support.
Secretary’s Report:
In April 1982, 25 members attended the first AGM of the SOA at the then builders,
Northshore. 40 years later, despite the pandemic, war and the demise of two
yacht builders, the Southerly Owners Association is still here and growing. While
there had been only one formal committee meeting, activities are beginning to get
back to pre pandemic levels.
Membership Secretary’s Report:
Gusti Taylor reported that for the first time, membership had surpassed 500.
There were 510 members which was an increase of 18 over last year. A third of
new members are from overseas. While it may not have been a good year for sail-
ing, it was for membership.
Chairman’s Report:
Nigel Campling was pleased that membership continues to grow and finances are
very sound. He thanked Gusti, who was standing down, for all her hard work as
Membership Secretary and welcomed Minh Tran, who will be taking over. He was
pleased that Rally Coordinator, Mike Edwards had been able to organize some ral-
lies, which had been well supported. The Laying Up Supper at Poole had been a
great success and he looks forward to this year’s Rendezvous in June. He thanked
Ali and Nick for their work as magazine editors and Nick for his time on updating
the website. At this point he asked Nick to outline the changes made to the web-
site to enable easier access. Nick circulated a handout. The Chairman then asked
Peter Bell to update the meeting on the situation following the demise of Discovery
Yachts and the building of Southerlies by Ocean Shipyard. Finally Nigel thanked the
committee and wished everyone a successful sailing season.
Election of Officers and Committee for 2022:
The Secretary confirmed that Gusti is standing down and the only nomination re-
ceived was for Minh Tran, who has offered to take over as Membership Secretary.

Thanksgiving Delivery
Finally some boating experience for our boating friends!
Wednesday November 24th Marcus and I took the train to Providence,
Rhode Island where our friend Malisa picked us up and brought us to their
sailboat which was at the dock from Mattapoisett Town Wharf.
The plan was to sail / motor their beautiful sail boat Cerulean (a Southerly
38) 170 miles to Hudson Point Marina NJ which is the same Marina as we
live in. We thought it will take about 30 hours + for the whole journey down
the Sound through Hell Gate down the East River.
Our trip started at 4am on Thursday Thanksgiving. It’s a bit nerve wracking
to drive through the dark. However Marcus had a special lamp and was
instructed by the skipper Todd to look out for Crab pots, buoys or anything
else which could be crossing our path on our way out from the marina. I
was stationed between our skipper and his first mate Malisa and Marcus
and related the messages between
Marcus and Malisa/Todd and also helped
to watch out for any obstacles.
We have done one delivery before and
my favoured time of the day is the
sunrise. We were incredibly lucky and
had the most beautiful sunrise on this
gorgeous Thursday.
We were able to sail for a little bit with
the wind blowing from the perfect direction.
Our Thanksgiving menu was the most
delicious hot soup one could dream of on a
day like today!
Then we got gifted by a magical sunset. We
discussed to sail only through the day or
also about the possibility to continue during
the night. We knew that there was a storm
warning for Friday late morning so it was
Page 15
Thanksgiving Delivery
decided to get as far as possible until the storm
would start. We took turns Malisa and me and
the boys. I so appreciated to sail with Malisa.
By the smallest challenge, I wanted to call for
the boys, but Malisa said we can figure it out
and we did! I also loved the conversations we
had – the time flew!
Before we knew it, it was getting light again
this time without sun as it was cloudy – the
first signs of storm.
One thing though I didn’t sleep much the last
two days so by the time the boys got up, I was
so tired that I fell asleep in the galley. I was
woken up shortly before we arrived at Oyster Bay Marina where we
wanted to get shelter from the storm. We made it just in time before the
storm arrived.
I was ready for my next nap after that we enjoyed the most delicious coffee
in town and got a clean up. We were a bit short on water and couldn’t refill
because everywhere the water pumps were closed. This is normal by end of
Page 16
Thanksgiving Delivery
November in this region of the USA. The showers were also closed, but
they had big restrooms with the nicest hottest water – we all felt like new
born after a wash down and new clothes.
In the evening we had a beautiful meal and made the best out of the
weather hold!
On Saturday we enjoyed a lazy day and tried to sleep for a few hours. We
were about 6 hours away from Hell Gate and needed to be there at
3:30am. Hell Gate has super strong current and with a sail boat it’s best to
be there during slack tide which was at 3:30am on Sunday morning. So we
had to get up at 8pm on Saturday evening.
Again we had to be super
careful to drive out in the
dark, but by now we
knew what to look out for
and again we made it
without any issues.
This time it was a bit
more “exciting” to drive
down the sound at night.
Suddenly we saw some
boats on our AIS
(automatic identification
system) … I learned that
the AIS is a great tool to know that there is a boat, but it’s not super
accurate. You really have to use the radar to get the exact location. We
had some huge barges coming our way. Because the Easter River current
was going up the barges used the favourable current.
After cold long 6 hours we made it! We could see Hell Gate… and the
best, thanks to the slack tied, we made it easy through and it was
beautiful driving down the East river. We made it before sunset to Hudson
Point Marina.

Sailing, Cycling and Swimming
Our favourite sailing places are on the
east coast rivers of Essex and
Suffolk. We keep our Southerly 32
Taloora at Titchmarsh Marina, Walton
on the Naze and often sail in the Orwell,
Stour, Deben, Blackwater and the Ore/
Alde. We prefer quiet anchorages or
using visitors moorings rather than mari-
nas. Initially we were quite happy with
our time spent on the boat, going ashore
in the dinghy and enjoying the local
walks and pubs -
When we’re not on the boat we are keen
swimmers (Eileen swam the Thames Our boat moored off the pub at
marathon last year) and cyclists (we both Waldringfield on the river
cycled from Morecombe Bay to Bridling- Deben) .
ton last May) and in the winter we enjoy
alpine skiing. But some years ago we felt that we were becoming less fit in
the summer months with the relative inactivity of cruising. Coupled with
that we wanted to venture further afield from the anchorages or moorings
we were visiting. In the past we had taken trains and local buses to explore
surrounding areas but this didn’t solve the problem of our lack of exercise.
So we decided to buy two folding
Dahon bikes. We chose this make
because they are lightweight, easy
to collapse and erect and fit nicely
into the dinghy when we go ashore
(although this is always the trickiest
part of the procedure)! They come
in sturdy bags which we always use
to protect our inflatable din-
ghy. They have seven gears and
Page 19
Sailing, Cycling and Swimming
twenty inch wheels. We have put good quality tough tyres on them which
makes them suitable for on and off road trips.
These bikes have completely transformed our time on the boat and given
us a different perspective. We are now able to travel reasonable distanc-
es, often cycling between 20 to 60 km on each trip. It has also made a big
difference in terms of provisioning - we always carry a rucksack each and
love buying fresh local produce (strawberries are our favourite!). We often
include a trip to a local swimming pool
which Eileen prefers to open water
swimming off the boat - unless the
water is particularly warm (FIG 2 - Ei-
leen swimming off the boat in the riv-
er Ore).
There are four cycling routes which
we particularly enjoy and would like
to share with you.
Pick up a mooring at Ramsholt. Make
sure to check with George first! Cycle
to Woodbridge via Sandy Lane. Wan-
der round the shops, the tide mill and
the old centre where we usually get a
coffee before cycling back. Round trip
approx 27km. Woodbridge swimming
pool is conveniently situated close to
the Adnams outlet if you fancy a pool
swim and a take out
RIVER DEBEN
beer! Woodbridge does have a marina
Ramsholt to Woodbridge but access is restricted due to tides
and a sill.
Page 20
Sailing, Cycling and Swimming
There are a very limited number of visitor
moorings in Aldeburgh and anchoring can
be tricky. The visitors moorings at Orford
are much better. Therefore cycling be-
tween the two is a great alternative.
This journey of approx 36km is on quiet
roads between Orford and Snape (Snape
Maltings concert hall), where you pick up
the sailors path. This avoids cycling on a
busy section of road and takes you
through lovely woods, a board walk and
provides fabulous views across the Alde
marshes. Once in Aldeburgh you are re-
warded with everything you would ex-
pect from a small coastal town, including
two amazing fish and chip shops and lo-
RIVER ORE and ALDE cal pubs, Aldeburgh to Southwold
which,
Orford to Aldeburgh via during the via Minsmere
Snape and the sailors summer
path. 2021, al-
lowed you
to eat a takeaway in their garden, providing
you bought a drink!
Southwold is a lovely town but the entrance
to the river and mooring against the piles is
something we would rather avoid. This
round trip of approx 63km is one of the
longest we enjoy. We do this trip when we
are fortunate enough to secure one of the
Aldeburgh visitor moorings. Although the
ride is mostly on the road it is rarely busy
and the countryside and small towns you
pass through are worth the effort. There
Page 21
Sailing, Cycling and Swimming
are some good off road sections on the disused railway line north of Alde-
burgh and passing over the footbridge from Walberswick to Southwold.
Minsmere is a short detour and is an out-
standing RSPB reserve.
Sailing up to Maldon on the tide is very
nice but the mud berths in the town are
not particularly inviting! Generally we
avoid marinas but Tollesbury is one we
really like. It has a pool big enough to
swim laps in and a lovely cycle ride to
Maldon. We tend to cycle along the canal
tow path from Heybridge basin to Mal-
don, so once again we are off road for a
considerable distance. And because we
like boats, what better to do when we get
there than watch the boats!!! (FIG 7 - Ei-
leen with bike in front of the Thames
barges in Maldon).
This list is by no means comprehensive
and we are still discovering many new THE BLACKWATER
‘cycle routes’. Although cycling from the Tollesbury to Maldon
boat is an effort in terms of equipment
(going ashore with buoyancy aids, cycle
helmets, high vis vests, etc) and logistics, it is always great fun and well
worth the effort in our opinion. And at the end of the day, when the sun’s
going down and you’re sat on
deck with a glass of some-
thing cool and refreshing, it
always feels well earned.

Ocean Shipyard Limited is a new Shipyard Located in Southampton UK that
specialises in the new build of Southerly yachts, refits and bespoke joinery.
Ocean Shipyard’s range includes the award winning Southerly 48 and the
first of a new generation of Southerly 42 which is being launched in Spring
2023. Ocean Shipyard also builds the Bluewater 50 Catamaran.
Design, Build and Restore Luxury with Ocean Shipyard
Limited
Ocean Shipyard was founded in January 2022 and is the ambition of
Managing Director Steve Edwards, a veteran of British boatbuilding with
over 36 years’ experience ranging, from building the luxury Aston Martin
powerboat, to Superyachts.
The Southerly Range
Ocean Shipyard is proud to be the exclusive builder and home of the
Southerly range. This means that Ocean Shipyard has the exclusive rights
and tooling to build brand new Southerly yachts, the range currently
includes the Southerly 42 and Southerly 48 with the possibility of the
Southerly 33 and Southerly 38 joining in the near future.
With excellent build quality and exquisite interiors, Ocean Shipyard Limited
SOUTHERLY 42
Page 23
have brought a wealth of knowledge and practical design to the Southerly
range. The time is now right to revitalise the Southerly brand and what
better way to launch than with the new generation Southerly 42. The new
Southerly 42 boasts an impressive sail plan, for powerful windward
performance and has the ingredients you expect of a truly great yacht:
• A tried and tested Rob Humphreys hull design.
• An impressive modern sailplan and deck gear perfectly optimised for
short handed or family cruising.
• Carefully selected premium materials used to construct the
beautiful, practical interiors.
• All brought together with attention to detail and the pride of the
team at Ocean Shipyard.
The key benefit of the variable draft keel is not just the obvious shallow
water sailing opportunities, but also the great performance and comfort
SOUTHERLY 4 8
derived from the very deep high aspect ratio design. In practice the yacht is
stiffer as a result of the improved righting moment, therefore carrying her
sail area better than others, and carving her way efficiently to windward in
Page 24
a seaway. The keel’s aerofoil section and depth when combined with large
twin rudders and efficient self tacking headsail delivers optimal windward
performance allowing the yacht to point high with minimal leeway. In a
word “versatile.”
This new style Southerly 42 is currently being built in our Southampton
Shipyard and is due to launch Spring 2023.
Performance, quality and sheer luxury are rooted in the DNA of the
Southerly 48, as you would expect from a team with the experience and
expertise of those at Ocean Shipyard. An imposing design beautifully
styled, sleek, powerful and thoroughly modern, her quality of construction
and finish stands out amongst the mass of production boats. She is
testament to the proudest traditions of British luxury yacht building; an
exceptional yacht that will be enjoyed and appreciated by the whole crew.
The Southerly 48 combines a deep keel with and offers grip from the semi
balanced twin rudders underway, whilst her hull provides stability. This is
driven by a Seldon rig that includes a powerful self-tacking blade jib and a
large genoa for lighter conditions. Twin helm positions allow for easy
handling and a truly rewarding sailing experience.

The Love Cup
At a presentation dinner in the Limehouse HQ of the CA, on the 30th
March Peter Bell was presented with the Love Cup by Rob Humphreys.
Peter received the Trophy for winning a log competition within the Cruis-
ing Association (6500 members) describing his (mis) adventures along the
Portuguese coast along with his equally terrified crew The log describes in
graphic detail their experiences of hitting an unbuoyed and uncharted
rock, their Mayday calls and what happened afterwards. The awards were
judged by Duncan Kent who was heard to say “well at least the log wasn’t
boring”. The Trophy was presented by Rob Humphreys, the internationally
known yacht designer, who is also a Member of RLymYC as well as founder
and partner in Humphreys Yacht Design of Lymington.
Peter is a cruising sailor. He and his wife Mary, have just completed the
circumnavigation of Iberia, clockwise, with the same crew and the same
boat, a Southerly 42 RST - Dofesaba II, which like many others, was de-
signed by Rob.

Quarantine Flag
A very special quarantine flag
Quarantine flags or “Q” flags are back in vogue in Europe for reasons
better left unsaid. Ours recently received a dusting off because we
crossed the ditch from Holland to visit Northshore to give Camus Bosta a
bit of TLC.
Since I was a bit rusty on the old signals,
I thought I’d read up on the require-
ments and came across a wonderful post
by Dennis Bryant on Maritimeprofes-
sional.com
www.maritimeprofessional.com/blogs/
post/quarantine-flag-13441
Dennis explains that there is actually no
flag for “quarantine” in the internation-
al code of signals. But when entering
port the Q (Quebec) flag must be flown.
It signals: My vessel is healthy and I re-
quest permission to do business in port.
But what flag to fly if we suspect there is contagious disease on board?
Not impossible these days. Turns out this used to be the L (Lima) flag but
that meaning for the L flag was discontinued in the 1965 update of the
international code of signals due to radio communications being common
by then. So VHF is the way to go in that situation.
Equipped with the knowledge on how to properly enter a foreign port, I
recalled a quarantine flag incident we had last year. I’m sure we are not
the first to have encountered this in the Low Countries.
We were moored up in Ameland, one of the Dutch Wadden islands in the
north of the Netherlands. Whilst most of these islands are packed solid
over summer (rafting being the norm), Ameland is a pleasant exception.
The harbour is rarely busy because it’s hard to get to. That is, unless you
Page 28
Quarantine flag
come by Southerly. Shifting shallows and banks, some ways apart, need to
be cleared in a single tide. It puts most keelboaters off.
As is common everywhere, people stroll the docks admiring the boats. One
evening, a gentleman stops by our boat and asks if we are feeling alright.
“Very much so” I reply with one eyebrow slightly raised. Seeing our confu-
sion, he replied: I couldn’t help but notice your quarantine flag. My what
flag? He just pointed at the mast. Looking up there was but a single pennant
flapping in the breeze. Our proud SOA Burgee…….. The penny dropped; I
realized my leg had been truly pulled. SOA is the Dutch acronym for
STD………

P.P.S.
The formalities for entering the UK were very smooth. The day before, in
Dunkerque, we filled out the form C1331 and emailed it to the UK Border
Force. The form is a Microsoft Excel template. So you need excel on your
computer or tablet. There is even a button in the template that sets up the
email to send with all the correct email addresses but don’t forget to attach
the form. Once sent, we received acknowledgement of safe receipt by the
UK authorities within minutes. Four hours later, we received another email
remotely granting us permission to enter the UK. On arrival, we reported to
Dover port control via VHF that we had received remote permission to en-
ter and that was all. Straight into the Marina; Q flag down and courtesy flag
up. Job done.

We, Natascha and Jochen Schaefer from Berlin, have been sailing on vari-
ous boats on the Baltic Sea since 1984.
Since 2006 we have been sailing on a Southely 35RS and since 2017 we are
happy owners of a Southerly 42 RST (Caroline).
To prepare our sailboat Caroline, for the Atlantic crossing we have brought
it from the Baltic Sea to Berlin.
The equipment is completed, so
Li Ion Batteries Solar Pannels
inverter 12-230Volt (3.500W) watermaker
new navigation instruments anchor 30kg with 90m chain
hydro-generator Watt&Sea bowsprit
wind-generator Superwind davits
among others installed.
Page 31
SY Caroline
But we sailed right into a storm
with wind speeds averaging 30-
35 knots, peaking at 66 knots for
a short time - wind force 12!!!!
We have celebrated farewell with family and
friends in Berlin on 01 May 2019. With a
friend, Jochen transfers the boat to the Baltic
Sea, the day before we put the mast back in
place.
We passed the Reichstag and headed through
the centre of Berlin.
After weeks of blocking the canals to the Baltic Sea (a bomb from the Sec-
ond World War was found in the Havel Canal and had to be defused), we
were able to sail to Szczecin via the Niederfinow ship lift (36 metre height
difference - a great experience).
There the mast was set again. We then sailed via the Bodden waters to the
Baltic Sea and were finally able to set sail again, from now on with my wife
Natascha.
Unfortunately, the weather forecasts are often no longer accurate. The
forecast was for 22-27 knots of wind, plus light rain around midday.
Page 32
SY Caroline
But we sailed right into a storm with wind speeds averaging 30-35 knots,
peaking at 66 knots for a short time - wind force 12!!!! The raindrops were
like pinpricks in the face. But the worst were the lightning bolts that struck
around us for 3 hours. Jochen was at the helm, Natascha had stowed the
mobile phones, the radio and others lightning-proof in a cooking pot. This
crossing was borderline and good bad weather training.
We were the only boat to pass through the lock to the Kiel Canal after Na-
tascha had radioed us. What a rarity, normally you are only allowed in with
commercial shipping. The funny lockkeeper recommended that we do not
tie up but, as we were alone, let ourselves drift in the huge lock. We gladly
tried this...
In Cuxhafen we waited for better weather and met the first other partici-
pants of the ARC. Together we then sailed via the North Frisian Islands and
Holland to Belgium. We did several shore excursions and visited friends.
In July we set off from Zeebruegge for the long beat across the English
Channel. Most of the time we had to use engines, but our Code Zero also
came into play. 2sm before the port of Dover we communicated with Port
Control Dover on VHF channel 74. In the harbour we met another boat
from Germany that was also on the way to the ARC - SY Walter from Dort-
mund. There was a whole family on board.
Page 33
SY Caroline
The next day we set off for the Castle. There was a steep little footpath
which the harbour master has marked for us on the map.
We stopped in the Northshore ship-
yard in Itchenor where Caroline was
built, because we had the keel hy-
draulics to be repaired.
Via Itchenor we sailed to Pool, it is a
wonderful place to anchor and for the
first time our new anchor rushes into
the depths and holds us safely. Jochen
made an involuntary cold dive to clear
the log of growth because we had no
speed indicator. We continued to
Dartmouth, enjoyed the scenery with
the old houses from the Tudor period,
visited the old castle at the mouth of the river and could finally buy some
food again.
From Dartmouth, we made a long run
straight to Falmouth – for us the very last
port in England. More and more boats came
into the harbour who had actually sailed in
the Fastnet Race and had abandoned it for
various reasons.
Once again, we waited for a good wind to
bring us across the Bay of Biscay. Instead of
a calm medium wind from the NE, however, the Windy weather app
shows us (see next page) that a huge storm is approaching. Now we had at
least a week until the waves have calmed down again and the wind turns
in a direction that is good for us.
We take the chance and booked tickets to London with the Great Western
Railway and visited our friends Kathrin and Kamen in London.
Page 34
SY Caroline
The 19 August was the big day when we finally had
to leave. Bye bye England, Bonjour France. Togeth-
er with the 'Walter' and other boats we have de-
cided to sail to Camaret-sur-Mer. This is a trip of
about 20 hours for about 129 nautical miles. This
will shorten the crossing of the Bay of Biscay by
one day.
Departure is planned for 9.00 a.m. But it rumbles
violently shortly after we had cast off. It's good
that we have a swing keel, it lifts up when we hit
an obstacle and then swings down again. Jochen
wants to raise the keel so that this doesn't happen again, but the keel
couldn't be raised. There was a brief moment of panic. Jochen disappears
into the ship's belly and Natascha circles
around in the outer harbour, always keeping
an eye on the depth gauge. But the problem
couldn't be solved that quickly, so we drop
the anchor. After half an hour, Jochen has
found the fault and fixed it. In the shipyard
they had not contacted a cable connector for
the keel control correctly when repairing the
keel hydraulics.
We sailed with Code O, Passat sail and main for almost the entire 128-mile
stretch, and the traffic from large ships was limited. At times we had almost
10 knots through the water! Along the way we had visits from dolphins
both during the day and at night. At around 3.30 in the morning, we an-
chored in front of the port of Camaret-sur-Mer, the entrance and search for
a mooring in the dark put us off. Camaret-sur-Mer is a nice little fishing vil-
lage in French Brittany.
Camaret-sur-Mer is the port where sailors heading west wait for a good
weather window to cross the Bay of Biscay. For the next week, there was
no chance of getting away for the time being. But gradually we got quite
fed up with the eternal waiting. And somehow the weather is always bad.
Jochen checked the internet to find out where the other ships are that are
Page 35
SY Caroline
sailing the ARC. Most of them are already far ahead of us.
From now on, the ships on the way to the ARC have also set the corre-
sponding flag.
In the meantime, the weather situation has improved and we have a date
for the crossing of the Bay of Biscay. We are due to set off on Tuesday
20.08.2019. That's about 350 nautical miles to La Coruna in Spain. We've
never done such a long trip before - 3 days and 2 nights on the water.
The Caroline is the first to leave, but as
the wind is once again not strong
enough for sailing, we have to motor
again.
We pass through an area where there
are countless dolphins. They literally
crowd in front of our bow. The water
also seems to be boiling all around the
ship - the dolphins are hunting for fish
and circling the schools of fish. They
swim alongside the boat with ease and
cross from side to side in front of the
bow. Even with the dolphins, the big
ones push the little ones a little to the
side.
Page 36
SY Caroline
Then it slowly gets dark and a dreamlike starry sky appears above us. You
can only see so many stars and the Milky Way in areas without much artifi-
cial light. Fortunately, the moon is still nice and round, so we have some
visibility. If we look diagonally backwards, we see the position lights of the
Walter - we are not alone in the world after all.
Around noon of the 3rd day we entered La Coruna (Spain). The Bay of Bis-
cay is behind us! We have
mastered the first big chal-
lenge.
We wanted to go to Santia-
go de Compostela, not on
pilgrimage but simply by
train. This is comfortable,
fast and cheap. Local
transport in Spain seems to
work really well. The cathedral of Santiago de Compostela stands over a
tomb in which the bones of the apostle James are said to lie and is the des-
tination of the Way of St James.
At the end of August, we are on our way to Portugal and pass Cape Finis-
terre. In Spanish it is called Cabo de Finisterre and in Galician Cabo Fisterra.
Both come from the Latin finis terrae - end of the earth. This is where peo-
ple used to see the end of their known world.
The Spanish-Portuguese border disappears completely in the fog, which
often happens off Portugal's coasts in the summer months. This is a prob-
lem, especially with regard to fishing nets and shrimp baskets, which are
difficult to spot even without fog. If such a line gets caught in the propeller,
it is serious.
The next two nights we anchor in very beautiful bays, as calm weather and
little wind is forecast. And we take our first swim in the Atlantic - quite cold,
more like the Baltic Sea. Anchoring also has the advantage of saving har-
bour dues. That's quite expensive in the long run, between 35 and 40 eu-
ros, depending on the port here in Spain and Portugal. And if you have
Page 37
SY Caroline
enough drinking water and ener-
gy, you don't really need the har-
bour.
Our first Portuguese port is Pov-
oa de Varzim. As the next morn-
ing brings fog again, we take the
metro from here to Porto.
Here, a tram runs in regular ser-
vice, which elsewhere can only
be found in a museum.
A low-pressure system has just passed through on the Atlantic. But from
03.09.2019, the waves should have weakened again somewhat. The dis-
tance to Lisbon is 170 nautical miles and so we will have to sail through the
coming night. In order to avoid getting caught in fishing nets during the
darkness, we have to sail out about 20 nautical miles to the 100m water
depth line. A friend of ours got a line in the propeller on the way here and
had to have a diver fumble it out again.
The first day and night we can even sail relaxed, on the second day around
08.00 we mutate into a motorboat again.
Every now and then we get an AIS alarm. Close behind us (a few metres) is
another sailing boat on a collision course. But
there is no one to be seen far and wide.
When I click on the collision opponent on the
display, I see that it is a sailing boat called
CAROLINE, i.e. ourselves. Another typical
software bug.
The harbour in Lisbon Oeiras was the very
best choice - a good harbour with everything
you need (incl. swimming pool) and for par-
ticipants of the ARC there is a 50% discount.
In the mornings there are also free bread
rolls which are put on the boat in a bag
Page 38
SY Caroline
around 9.00am.
We make day trips to Lisbon and are very impressed by the old town as
well as the hypermodern buildings on the Parque das Nações where the
Expo 1998 took place in Lisbon.
In the meantime, several boats
with an ARC flag are already
moored in the harbour, including
the Karhammel IV (Southerly35RS)
from France, and together we use
the marina's barbecue area.
Now it is time to move on. With the
Walter and the Oyster Moon (GB)
we sail, unfortunately again under
engine, to Sines, about 54sm away.
Over the radio we are asked by a
military boat to change course to 90°, as a submarine is holding an exercise
in front of us. Hence the change of course halfway.
We are moored in the harbour of Sines together with 4 other ARC boats.
The Walter and the Oyster Moon were also able to change to the ARC+, as
some boats broke off and thus coveted ARC+ places became free.
At the end of September, we start our trip to Madeira.
Jochen has set the trolling rod and we hook 3 fish, but unfortunately can't
bring them on board. On the 4th bite we manage to catch this dolphinfish
(Mahi mahi) which is up to 60 kmh fast. We have a great sunset and again a
great starry sky.
There doesn't seem to be a single boat apart from us, we don't hear any
radio messages even on VHF channel 16 (which is always on), are we alone
in this world? No, we have had visitors overnight – octopuses - who are
lying on deck.
On 29.09.2019 shortly after sunrise Jochen shouts: Land in sight! A small
volcanic mountain can be seen on the horizon, we are finally there after 3
Page 39
SY Caroline
days/nights. Around 1.30 pm, after 489 nm, we anchor in the harbour of
Porto Santo, a small island that belongs to Madeira. The first thing we do is
sleep and then finally cook some real food again.
We say goodbye to Porto Santo the very next day. It was so crowded in the
harbour that we had to anchor and we hadn't unpacked our dinghy yet.
We set off for the port of Quinta do Lorde on the main island of Madeira.
Everyone advised us not to go directly to the port in Funchal - too much
swell from the ferries coming and going.
Quinta do Lorde is a pretty harbour in a hotel resort that is modelled on a
small Portuguese town. There is even a church and a market place with a
fountain, although there are not really any people living here. We rent a
small car to see the island and drive
first to Funchal, the island's capital.
Madeira has great walking routes,
many of them along the levadas.
These are irrigation channels that
bring water from the mountains to
the fields in the valleys.
On 07.10.2019 we leave Madeira
together with another ARC boat -
the Santa Esmeralda - and set
course for Fuerteventura.
Caroline comes out of the water again, we have loaded so much that the
water pass was under water and we had algae growth on the hull. We
painted the antifouling (protective coating) 2 cm higher. After a new polish,
the hull shines like a mirror!
We leave Fuerteventura and are finally looking forward to our starting port
for the ARC - Las Palmas on Grand Canaria. We have covered about 3000
nautical miles so far. Here in the marina of Las Palmas there are already
many boats with the different ARC flags. You can tell from them which
route the boat is taking. ARC directly to Saint Lucia, ARC+ goes via Cape
Verde either to Saint Lucia or to St. Vincent and the Grenadines. We go to
Page 40
SY Caroline
Saint Vincent, which is the smallest fleet of only 25 boats.
Every boat that wants to be in the ARC has to carry a lot of safety equip-
ment according to the regulations. We were well equipped and passed the
safety check by Marc Burton from the ARC. The local chandlers here in the
harbour benefit hugely from this and stock up on everything on the ARC
equipment list. If you're looking for someone from the other sailors, it's
best to stand in front of the chan-
dlery, you're bound to meet them
there.
Sundowners and parties take
place almost every day! We also
take several courses (rigging,
weather, communication, provi-
sioning, emergency management,
...) and are thus constantly busy.
On the penultimate day there is a
skipper briefing where we get all
the information about the start of the regatta in Las Palmas, the entry into
Mindelo and the expected weather conditions.
After purchasing and delivering all the groceries, Natascha had quite a
while to stow everything away. But miraculously, everything fit on the boat
in the end. On the day before the start, 2 loaves of bread were baked,
which should be enough for the 5 days until Mindelo!
Just now, the regatta management sent us a message on VHF channel 72
that some boats don't want to start. Anyone who is also planning to do so
should send an e-mail. This topic was heavily discussed yesterday, especial-
ly on the family jetty. We are expecting a lot of wind (6-7Bft) and about 3m
of wave. Normally we would never have sailed in these conditions. But the
ARC doesn't want to postpone, probably there would be too many logisti-
cal problems. Besides, no great change in the weather is expected for the
whole week. The ARC says to choose your sails very conservatively. So we
will start with the tacking jib (it is very small) and with one reef in the
mainsail.
Page 41
SY Caroline
We had 28-38 knots of wind with the corresponding swell of 3-4 metres.
The family boats were particularly affected, the children and mostly the
mothers were seasick for the first few days. It was particularly bad where
the children had also stopped drinking and were completely dehydrated.
We arrived in Mindelo on Cape Verde in the middle of the night and had
difficulties finding the harbour. Wrecks and anchored boats have to be
avoided.
The boats that made it celebrate extensively. We make adventurous bus
trips across the island. Everything is terribly dry. We see many gardens and
fields that have been abandoned in the meantime.
Award ceremony of the 1st stage - 1st leg, we reach 2nd place in our group
after evaluating all the data!
On 21.11.2019 we cross the Atlantic with the destination St. Vincent in the
Grenadines.
