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:

    Hi guys,
    super dass ihr gut gelandet seid! Und nun auch mal wieder Land seht. Und so ein Satellitentelefon ist eine tolle Sache, sehr beruhigend für Mütter und Väter! Ich freu mich drauf, bald wieder von euch zu hören, vielleicht mal über Skype?
    Bis bald, Grüße aus Karlsruhe
