Sailing MV Lady Liselot
August 24, 2020 SAILING YOUTUBERS
2024 is Season 4 of Sailing MV LadyLiselot.
I am Henk-Jan (1965 – I know, one would not tell), a #liveaboard on this #trawler #yacht where I live, work, #singlehanded sail and enjoy life in #thenetherlands.
She is a 1980 49ft Blue Ocean Trawler and named after my daughter: “Fien Liselot”. Build in Lien Hwa Boat Yard (established in 1978). Lien Hwa Boat Yard builded boats for several OEM partners included Blue Ocean (Holland – power boats),
Little Harbor (US – sail boats), Marine Trader (US – power boats), Trade Winds (US – power boats).
This channel follows a format: “Join Henk-Jan, whilst he cruises with Lady Liselot”.
That’s it. This automatically means: no boat tour and no boat jobs. These subjects do not fit the format.
