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:

On the hard

On friday we hauled out Barracuda and put her on the dry at Marina Manzanillo, Cartagena.
We started on the teak-deck which is very rotten and therefore leaking. The wood is all off now and we're derusting, as soon as I can get a cable I'll start welding the holes.
We made some good progress so far, unfortunately it started to rain a lot which makes working impossible and turns the boat (with all the holes in the deck still open) into a dripping cave.
