Jonathan - nominally the Captain! Does most of the passage planning and  navigation; shares helming with Annabel and the boys. Also Webmaster!

I started sailing dinghies in the 60’s - Enterprise, Fireball, Norfolk Punt; During this time I had also crewed extensively in International Dragon  keelboats at Lowestoft. I then bought a Flying Fifteen jointly with a  friend, Nick Methold, who in 2007 was one of the crew on the trip from  England to Germany in Wandering Star II.

Mallard of Chet became our first sailing cruiser - a Peter Duck class ketch.  Annabel and I renovated her extensively. Sadly we found that she was too small four four  adults, and in 2002 we bought Wandering Star II, a Southerly 115..

Annabel - first mate and the powerhouse who gets us all out of bed and  organised! Also renowned as a dab hand with a varnish brush. Ships carpenter.

Annabel started sailing as a child, sailing in her brother’s Brown Boat (Broads One Design). She also sailed with friends in their Broads sailing  Cruiser ‘˜Dragonfly’  Her skills with paint and varnish brushes developed at this time - both these boats were timber and needed constant  attention.

Tom - crew and photographer; studying Environmental Studies at the University of East Anglia, Norwich.

Ed - crew and artist. Can usually be found with pad and pencil in hand.

Nick & Annie - we shared a Flying Fifteen together some years ago. Nick sailed with us on our delivery trip to Denmark in 2007, and then came out again in 2008 with his wife Annie.

Peter - introduced to us by Nick. He owns a catamaran that he and Nick have sailed extensively on the East Coast of England, and also to France.

Sam - more used to sailing dinghies, or a 60 foot gaffer - found sailing with us rather gentle!

Philip in customary relaxed pose, and Sarah at the helm.

We met Philip whilst sailing Enterprises in our teens. He now sails Loch Longs with his family at Aldeburgh on the East Coast of the UK, (See links page for website details.)

Phil and Sarah take full advantage of the bikes when we are in a marina, or in the dinghy or inflatable kayak when we are anchored. Phil even tried to teach Annabel how to fish!

Martin - Annabel’s brother; owned a Broads One Design for many years, sailing mainly at the Royal Norfolk and Suffolk Yacht Club at Lowestoft, and the Waveney and Oulton Broad Yacht Club on Oulton Broad, Lowestoft.He also crewed on the Broads sailing cruiser ‘Dragonfly’ for many years too.

He has sailed with us on occasions on the East Coast, but came to Denmark in 2012 to sail with us.
