When we left France and I returned after 34 years to Germany, we sold our boat (Blue Djinn Yves Parlier) to the ship chandler of the marina of Lac Madine.
Having bought an apartment in my old hometown Frankfurt am Main I wondered where one could sail? Indeed, there is no not a good sailing area nearby. The nearest is the Edersee Edersee a 2 hours’ drive from Frankfurt. So, what to do? On one of my running rounds led me to the south side oft he river Main where are a number of water sports clubs located. That’s how I discovered the Frankfurter Yachtclub Frankfurter Yachtclub. Indeed, before, I have never considered to sail on a river. But it works, pretty well. Last year then we became members of the club. It’s a good club. The club has a beautiful site with several jetties and slips. 6 Regattas are organized every year, and it is good fun to sail on the river. The club offers some sailing boat for use by their members. Meanwhile we have a little boat on our own (see photo on the left)
