Der Plan



This is the blog of our travels with s/y Barracuda.

The trip started in August 2010 from Harlingen in the Netherlands as a young man's adventure by Jan-Vincent Nickl and Laszlo Schöffer, both born of the year '89 (also the owners of 'Barracuda').

After crossing the Atlantic Ocean and cruising the Eastern Caribbean islands for a while, Jan left the boat and Oliver Clasper, a young artist and photographer (born of '88) from London joined in. We plan for this year to cross the South Pacific.

The boat is a dutch-built sloop,ten metres long, year of construction 1975. She's a Cumulant 3 to be more precise, designed by 'Van-der-Vlis'.

Most of the photos will be posted on Olly's blog, check it out:

New plans


It's settled now: Olly and I are going to cross the Panama-canal next spring and sail through the Pacific until Australia. In order to fond this trip we'll return to Saint Martin and work as much as we can during the winter season to save up some money. We're also trying our hand at finding sponsors; if anyone out there has tips and tricks or ideas for us, don't hesitate, tell us!
I will fly up there begin of October and Olly is going to join in November after a visit home. Barracuda is going to stay here in Cartagena on the dry while we're gone.
In March we'll come back and go to and through Panama as quickly as possible, heading for Galapagos.
The adventure goes on!
