First immersion
First rays of sun
Carefully the K.J. Antaba is removed from its hangar. For the first time since 1,5 years she sees the first rays of sun.
Popular!
Under supervision of many friends and family the ship is being hoisted in the rigs.
Filled with expectation
Here she is, black and beautifull, hanging in the rigs, ready to taste the water after a very long time.
There she goes
As it should, the K.J Antaba is gracefully immersed by her guardian patroness. A very exciting moment!
Finally
And there she is. After a few quick checks for leaks (very important!) finally the K.J Antaba is officially immersed. After this many months of sweat and tears, a very special moment.
Pride
After a short testsail on the Wilhelmina Canal I moored her on the docks of the TWV.There are still a number of things that have to be done, before I can take here out sailing.But for the time being, I'm very happy about the result so far, and also a bit proud of her, and a little of myself!
