Johanna Hendrika - DEB 33

The first owner named the boat Cheetah and sailed many races, often on the Solent.  After six years she was sold to the Netherlands. The second owner, Mr. Hamer, sailed it on the IJsselmeer and Wadden Sea and also made regular trips along the English and French coast. Mr Hamer registered the Knepie II, as the yacht was then called, with Lloyds. In 2006 Manon Zwart bought the yacht and renamed it Bran, son of the Celtic god of the wind. I bought the yacht in 2022 and changed the name to Johanna Hendrika, my late wife. I sail a lot on the IJsselmeer and Wadden Sea, but my favorite sailing areas are the Scandinavian waters and the Baltic Sea.
