How you can help me realizing my dream
The hull of Boatsje went through a complete transformation in 2020, changing her to a scow bow. Most of the equipment is still from before and therefore by now quite outdated. To ensure safety during my adventures I will be refitting her this winter and adjusting things to optimize her. For this refit and the rest of the project towards the Mini Transat 2027 I am looking for financial support.

Premium ropes
I have Partnered up with Premium Ropes for a complete renewal of all standing and running rigging on Boatsje.
Needing new standing rigging I was looking for the best solution when I came by their Rigwire 99. Looking for Dyneema rigging with minimal stretch this was the solution, the core being SK99 heat pre stretched and the cover made out of SK78 for the best protection of my stays.
For my running rigging I went with their stirotex (HMPE fibre) core S-cup rope. Being lightweight and easy to splice this is my go to rope for trim lines and hallyards, and for my guard rail I use Stirotex S-core.
