We, Robin Middel (1968) and Patty-lou Middel-Leenheer (1969) are the proud owners of the Willem Johannes (WJ). We both basically grew up on, in and around water, both in private as well as work-wise. We bought out first sailcruiser in 2005, a 28 feet Fellowship. We sailed her for over 10 years and she turned out to be the bases for our twins Bram en Rob (1999) to get addicted to sailing as well. We then bought a 36 foot Catalina which we sailed for over 5 years, which was awesome.
