Mark Slats can row again!
His high-tech boat built at Paul Dijkstra Composites is ready. She easily makes her designed speed and the aim is to break the double handed ocean record in the Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge this year.

Nehaj design No 482 back in shape
Last year Nehaj was washed on the rocks of Réunion.
Afterwards she sailed on her own keel to Sneek. At Koopmans Kasko's the dented plates were replaced. The advantage of metal is the ability to deform without cracks. We learned a lot from this accident and we have gained more knowledge about the best way to construct for this sort of impact.
News from JAGER
Although there were restrictions due to COVID-19 we sailed to the east coast of England for our holiday. We did a lot of cycling, walking and sailing of course. video
Back in Holland we discovered that some boats had set a faster time on the 75Mijls IJsselmeer challenge. However together with Jaap we are on top of the list again. Video
Some weeks ago we hit something so the day after the challenge JAGER was lifted out of the water to check the prop. Fortunately the prop was okay but we did find the remains of a fishing net.
I also cleaned the underwater body and put new paint on.
Design No 455
After years of pleasure this beatiful wooden boat is for sail.
