On 2016-09 Sep-09, Francisco and me went to see a Hallberg Rassy 29.
She was called "Sherpa".

On 2016-10 Oct-06, I went to see another Hallberg Rassy 29.
She was called "Sylvass".

Her owner was quite the entrepreneur:

Nice to see Atlantis's sisters.

I hope you are having a great time!

 

[Pieter Boelen]

On 2016-10 Oct-07, I went to see another Hallberg Rassy 29.
She was called "Evita".

I hope you are having a great time!

This was three years ago.
Today I'm just cleaning up my files while being super sleepy.

Oops, wanted to say that you were having great time.

On 2016-10 Oct-08, Francisco and me went to see my final Hallberg Rassy 29 before choosing one to purchase.
She was called "Sylphe".

Holland America Line's "Prinsendam" started as Royal Viking Sun, then became Seabourn Sun and is now Amera.
So let's have some fun and likewise try to reconstruct my boat's past too!
I added a poll to the opening post.

 

[The Nameless Pirate]

I have chosen other, since I know the answer anyway.

Your Atlantis was previously named...

Black Diamond, a pirate vessel sailing in the Netherlands, you had to change the name due to the authorities mistaking you for the previous owner.

 

[Grey Roger]

Correct. In fact, here's a picture of the Black Diamond before she was disarmed and converted to legal, civilian use.

And I think I've found out why the authorities mistook @Pieter Boelen for the previous owner:
My 9m Sailboat

Spoiler

The real reason I voted "Other" is that I cheated. I found the earlier posts about the boat. She wasn't the Sylpke, the nearest match in the poll. She was the Sylphe.

My 9m Sailboat

Spoiler

I found a report: 241016 RDI - Sylpke.pdf
It's in Dutch. But it may or may not be related to my own boat.

Sounds about right!

Same here, Pieter had told me about Sylphe in the past.
So I thought of being creative instead; since the correct option wasn't available.

I wonder why. It doesn't show up for me if I'm just visiting the site and have not logged on; it only shows up for me if I am logged on. But you must have been logged on to post that.

It's an "img" link to the same picture I posted elsewhere on this forum. I was trying to save space by re-using the same picture. Since that doesn't seem to work for some reason, here it is again:

That's what I figured too.
Very strange.

I love that picture! It's absolutely priceless.

For the record, about that SPOILER I posted...
I paid for that report. It's supposed to be about my boat.
Except real life ended up saying something wildly different.
So the way I see it now, that report really WAS about another (non-existent) boat.

Probably because the original image was posted in the "Modder Availability" thread. That's only available to modders. You chose to stop being a modder, and the forum doesn't know I'm a modder if I'm not logged in.

The new image posted in this thread is not protected, so anyone can now see it.

Interesting.
Indeed I removed that title from myself because otherwise I do have a bit... much.
And then I got back into a bit of modding again shortly after.

Odd that my group would limit my access to the pictures.
Even though my general Admin role still allows me full access to that subforum.

 

[Pieter Boelen]

YESSSS!!!!
Progress on my dear boatie at last.

Before: ATLANTIS (Sailing Vessel) Registered in Netherlands - Vessel details, Current position and Voyage information - IMO 0, MMSI 244043929, Call Sign PD3929
After: ATLANTIS (Sailing Vessel) Registered in Netherlands - Vessel details, Current position and Voyage information - IMO 0, MMSI 244020938, Call Sign PD3929

Spot the differences!

Can't see it?
Well, it's the difference between being an ILLEGAL BLOODY PIRATE and a proper law-abiding professional.

 

[Hammie]

Nice looking ship

For me both links go to the exact same page, so can't really tell any difference.

Might have actually unknowingly seen it in real life, but will definitely keep an eye out next time I'm over there.

Thankee, thankee!
Bit of a shame @Grey Roger's cannons addition is missing in real life...
But ye can't have everything now, can ya?

For me both links go to the exact same page, so can't really tell any difference.

They DO go to the same page.
Because it's the same ship!

But the MMSI (Marine Moble Service Identity) number changed.
The bastards at *name removed* ILLEGALLY put in the WRONG BLOODY NUMBER!
So turned out I had been transmitting the wrong identification for several years.
I didn't even realise until I got a warning from Agentschap Telecom.
REAL shameful for a maritime professional like me.
Thank Joosten that it is solved now!

Might have actually unknowingly seen it in real life, but will definitely keep an eye out next time I'm over there.

Do you ever go to the IJsselmeer? That's my sailing area for now.
Before I owner her, she used to be between Zeeland and Zuid-Holland; around the Haringvliet area.

There are more boats of the same make; and also yard.
Every chance you must've seen at least ONE of them at some point in your life.

And since you live only one country down South, really one day you should come over!
You'll certainly be welcome to.

 

[Hammie]

Not to the IJsselmeer no, but I have been to Lelystad several times.

I have been to the Batavia twice.

Also sailed from the Bataviahaven to Volendam on the Stedemaeght once. It was a sunny day with a nice breeze, so they could use the sails the whole trip, only really using the engines for docking/undocking. And while Volendam was a bit much for me, it really was one of the best days ever.

So there is a good chance I will be back for more sailing adventures in the future.

 

[Pieter Boelen]

Finally went sailing again a bit over a week ago!
