Helga Zimmerly - The ten years David and I spent on Erasmus, cruising halfway around the world, were filled with beauty, terror, contentment, awe and unending surprises. I still miss being on watch, all alone in the middle of the night, in the middle of the ocean. Any ocean.

David W. Zimmerly - The building of the two-masted junk-rigged Arluk inspired the dream of acquiring an ocean-going sailing yacht to cruise the world. In 1984 my wife Helga and I bought Erasmus, a 35’ aluminum cutter-rigged sailboat, and we had ten glorious years of cruising from Ottawa to Thailand.
