But the ravages of time grind on. The Cigognes were not flashy enough, rotten to the keel, the woodworking machine was history, some more &#8216;umbrella politics&#8217; so yes, we had to get a different type of boat. Planning to use a caravelle with a weighted keel as a (cheap) alternative was not according to the standards. Then we had to look for something that did meet the standards. And as predicted, this type nearly sank on flattening.<\/p>\n<p>And then came the Aira, a jewel on the water. First the test phase, then a few weeks in the sailing camps and then decide to buy 5 Airas. But these yachts had to come from Sneek (Friesland) to Nieuwpoort. Should we make it a sailing internship (18+)? Or sail over 2 with teachers in June? The latter idea soon took shape with 6 instructors (2 male oldies and 6 charming young ladies) we would bring the Airas from Sneek via Hegermeer, IJsselmeer, the North Sea Canal, IJmuiden, North Sea to Nieuwpoort. An alternative is the &#8216;Staande Mast Route&#8217;, but that would take too long. This is understandable with a yacht of something over 6 meters, without a closed cabin. That means staying overnight in tents, cooking on camping gas fires, so back to basics.
