Curious, what boat model is that?

  Westerley Centaur 1972 bilge keel, 7.9 meters, with interior layout A: https://sailboatdata.com/sailboat/centaur-26-westerly https://sailboatdata.com/sailboat/centaur-26-westerly Was the most popular British-made small boat of all time, and some of them have successfully circumnavigated. Sturdy thing with only 0.9m draft, able to ride into shallow waters and sit happily on its keels when the tide goes out, and surprisingly spacious for its length. Good boat.

    Those are pretty popular on Waddenzee, because of their ability to just set down without falling over when the tides go out.

      Exactly. Really opens up some beautiful coastal areas to explore where the tides are big. It's also quite nice to know that if you happen to run into an unmarked sandbank, you'll only have to sit there, and not sit there sideways ;)
