Hello, my name is Torsten, I come from the island of Juist on the German North Sea coast and I'm new here. Thank you very much for entry. I bought a Lochin 33 GDSV in Holland last year. This is probably a former pilot boat from Guernsey, I think the name was Pirette. Now the boat is called BUTSCHER and is only used privately. Maybe someone in this forum knows the boat and maybe has pictures of the original condition ... that would be very nice. Greetings from the island Torsten
Hello Willem, thanks for the tip .....!
Yes, that is the boat.
Maybe we can actually arrange a meeting in the next year. I would be happy, Delfzijl is always worth a trip.
With best regards
Torsten
Below a photo I took when passing you in Holland (Margriet Kanaal close to Bergum).
I waved but i understand you did not reconize me as I was on another boat (not my Lochin).
After 22 years having great pleasure in owning/sailing our Lochin 333 GDSV its time to sell. I have just retired and bought a boat with a bit more comfort in order to stay longer periods on board.
Hello Willem, thank you for the beautiful picture. I saw that your home port is Delfzijl, but didn't immediately associate it with you.
It's a pity that you sold the Lochin, but of course I wish you a lot of joy with the new boot.
We are on our way home and will make one more stop in Delfzijl tomorrow before heading back to the island on Saturday.
