7. Czarina. After lots of experiences in small boats, I set my sights on bigger boats. I first tried out on Czarina, a Thunderbird sloop. It was a nice choice since the boat was another classic. It was a very practical boat made of marine wood, with a fractional rig meaning the jib sail is lower and smaller than the mainsail which incidentally makes a boat more beautiful to me at least. The weather helm is very light and thus easy to steer even in high seas or when the hull tilts to leeward. We won lots of onshore and offshore races I'd like to think with my joining the boat. Best of all Karl is a very kind humble man, with his beard and all. He limps, very quiet fellow who works in ADB.
