Two people: Fred & Judy , drawn to each other and yet somehow drawn also to the sea, and both intrigued by the idea of living aboard. I saw her, blond and asymmetrical, beautiful, boarding another’s boat and I followed her and wooed her, or she wooed me. That was 1985 and we fell in love and we thought that to buy a boat and make a life together on the water was only natural. So we did. Fate. The boat was WINGS. For the next ten years we lived on Wings in Seattle, had jobs in the city, sailed every chance we got, and 40-50 times a year, went racing. It was great. Then we left Seattle and began our cruising life. We voyaged across the world, across the seven seas, to faraway places, and made them our own. Wings was our home, and is still, and we lived wherever the sea met the land and people welcomed us, as they did everywhere. For twenty-five years we’ve lived this life, and more to come, we hope. Join us now, and sail the seas. Fred Roswold & Judy Jensen, SV Wings, Caribbean

Hello, Fred,
thank you for those excellent photos. The original oil painting of this remarkable yacht has been hanging on our wall in the Bruynzeel House in Stellenbosch for the last 32 years:) We also have the wonderful wood carving, Bruynzeel won on the Trans pacific race 1967.

We have sold the house (with a bleeding heart) and will move back to Germany - alas, nothing lasts...
Beautiful photos of an extraordinary yacht. Never seen her "live" but since my parents where on board for the bigger part of the late sixties I am brought up with stories of Stormvogel.
Believe my father, Peter Lindeberg, were skippering her on TransPac 1967.
