We spent some lovely days at de Kikkert with yawl sailing in Friesland NL. Here are some impressions.
We had crossed the Slotermeer (nl) for a pancake in Woudsend (de). Now we are on our way home. The opposite course when we first were heading towards Woudsend had been much more wet - a splishing and a splashing!
The Slotermeer is very shallow - only 1,20 m deep in general. So waves pile up quickly. According to Windfinder the wind was four, maybe five Beaufort. The Randmeer (nl) is a very stable and good-natured yawl but at the same time it’s sportive and quickly reacting. Much better than a Polyvalk. A lot of fun:
Here’s an online Beaufort calculator.
