From June 2008 to September 2012 "De Jonge Jacob" stayed at Robertsons Yard in Woodbridge. Katy and Alex were resident from 2008 to April 2010. Two hard winters living in a tin can persuaded them of the joys of life ashore, and they moved to a cottage in Ipswich. While their lives moved on - a wedding in July 2011 and a house purchase in May 2012- the boat stayed put.
In 2012 the other two owners David and Linda Cadwallader bought out Katy and
Alex's shares in the boat, and plans were made for the next stage of the
boat's life in sunny France. The hull was epoxied (waterproofed) in
2011 and new leeboards were made in oak by Robertson's. (See their web site for details). The engine was overhauled, and as August 2012 approached the boat was again made ready for sea....
