The Jacob Meindert was originally an ice breaking tug named Oldeoog[1][2]
She was purchased at auction by Willem Sligting who, when he first saw her, realised she could make a fast sailing vessel.[3]
She was relaunched in 1989 as a two masted topsail schooner.
29-09-2012 She lost both masts in strong breeze, 6 at the Beaufort scale, north of Terschelling. No casualties. Towed to and safe in the harbour of Harlingen. [4]
