Sailing Simon Hendrick

The lovely thing about cruising is that planning usually turns out to be of little use.

Departure Simon Hendrick

This is us!

We decided to change our lifes and find another balance, more quality with our family and different horizons everyday on our Oyster 49PH Simon Hendrick.

We are sure it is not the easiest way, but trust this way of life will teach us valuable learnings of ourselves and each other. We love to explore and sailing is our second nature, together we will make this work!

We thanks you for your interest in us and hope you will enjoy the journey with us!

“The only way to get a good crew is to marry one & raise one together…”

This is our ship!

We started our search for the right ship years ago, first by making lists of the needs & wants, then we narrowed down our search and came to the conclusion that for us the perfect fit would be a monohull, centre cockpit, preferably with a lot of light in the cabin and sturdy enough for circumnavigation. And yes the list went on and on and on…

Then we started visiting ships and fell in love with the quality of for example Contest, as our budget vs the wishlist made that we had to look for older ladies so quality was key.

By coincidence we found this old lady on our doorstep and she is the perfect match, as she ticks all the boxes, the pilot house is the absolute bonus! Also the fact that the previous owner, cared for her like a teddy bear (quoting the examiner), made us the lucky owners of the now called Simon Hendrick.
