Prins Henrik sold.

Well, it is true.
We have had several damages in the recent time, which, in the long run, made us more than usual concerned about our safety, when being that far out on the open Ocean.
And without the trust in the boat, the only thing that is around you and keeps you up on top of the big waves to all sides, hundreds of miles from any shore, sailing is not fun any longer.
We sold her on Aitutaki to the mayor himself. And we are happy with the decision!
In a way, we have reached New Zealand anyhow, as the Cook Islands belong to New Zealand.

For about 20 years Rainer and I have crossed the oceans on this tiny type of boat. Many of  our friends we have got to know by that. Part of our identity is connected to that.

In a way, an era is over for us. That gives space and energy for new projects, and together we will go for it.

You may expect some last pictures here on this site within the week to come.
We are looking forward to meeting all of you any time and any place in the world.

Regards from Rainer and Jochen
