After a visit in our hometown Hersbruck we thought about writing a homepage, so more people can read about us.

Who are we?

Heiko Sauber, middle 30, Cabinetmaker by trade, with much, very helpful know-how in building campers and RVs and prior experience from several Charter trips in various sailing areas. Jutta Richter, middle 30, also Cabinetmaker by trade, 1997 the first time on a sailing boat and since then keen on this kind of life.

MOMO Hersbruck, born 1980, length 10,70m, width 3,65m, hard shine Aluminum sloop, with 60qm sail area. Equipped for long term cruising: - with Solar cells, Wind generator and a prop shaft generator - a watermaker supplies all our drinking water - for navigation we have GPS, Radar, VHF-,   HAM/SSB-Radio with weather decoder   and, of course, a great deal of common sense - our cabinet making tools are also in our luggage.

How it all started:

In January 1997, in the Caribbean: we met on a sailing trip and fell in love.
We decided very quick to look for a boat and by September we were the proud owners of MOMO.
We found her in Spain, advertised there by a Swiss family. She looked to be reliable on the Atlantic and in the Mediterranean, but needed some work on the inside/cabinets. MOMO was exactly what we were looking for!
After stopping our businesses in Germany we moved in February 1998 with all our belongings to Spain and in three months we revived most of the interior. After one last month at home we moved into our new floating home in July.

Elephant and Penguin, that's our crew.
