I had to go back and check page one . . . less than three years from ordering materials to (presumably) splash!! For a boat like this, that seems fast! Nice job, it looks great, too. :D

Just back from my first trip with the Stoere meid.

Image

It was great. The boat meets all my wishes. She is easy to handle and comfortable sailing. Even my wife could do it.
Image
She also likes the table I made and used it frequently. Only a bit different as most people uses a table.
Image
During the trip we had many possitive reactions on the boat.

At 1600 rpm she runs 5,4 knots.
Image
And a fuel consumption of 2 l/h (or some less). I think that is verry good.

Very well done Allard. My congratulations to you and your wife on the successful first voyate of Stoere Meid. I'm sitting here with a big silly grin on my face looking at the wonderful pictures!

Cheers!

Hello all,

It's been four years now since you heard of me. Since January my wife and I have retired. And from May this year we are traveling with the Stoer famke. This year we stayed in our own country, Friesland is a beautiful province to travel by boat. The TW28 is the perfect boat for 2 people to travel for a long time. Just enough space for all the stuff. A couple of days friends or relatives, no problem either.
Unfortunately, there is no TW28 meeting this year. We sold our house and bought a new house. We are in the middle of a move next month.
Next year, I really hope for a TW28 meeting, maybe Colin may be there. That would be a unique affair, three TW28, three nationalities together.
I am also pleased that Peter, Katrien and Luka are in Lage zwaluwe about August 11th. I´m looking forward.
