Title
Aries
Description
It is our goal to provide vane gear solutions for sailing boats up to 56 feet's length, we are located in the small city of Nordborg, north on the island Als in southern Denmark. Read the story below, about how Aries got to Denmark.
In 1986 I bought one of Nick Franklin's gears mainly for a single handed passage I intended to do, Denmark - England and back. This voyage was planned to take place two years after, I would then be 22 years of age and have finished my apprenticeship. Also that year I had received my fathers consent to borrow the boat for that summer. What he did not know then was that he was not to see either his son or his boat until five years later.
The sea, as you all know, does not have any limits. I had a good boat (well my father had), good sails, a good portion of young spirits, it was a Friday in August in Falmouth 1988. I could not resist. I went to sea bound for the warm countries far down South where I had heard that the wind is gentle, the sea is smooth and the girls are fantastic.
