Woke up early, had a perfect meal and coffee as always...ok, I lied, not like that.

I was very excited about first day , think my dad too. That day we had to sign a contract for rent and to move in the new premisses. In the early morning we did it and next thing according to the plans was boat form delivery.


For that porpouse we had Land Cruiser and Trailer, luckily.

 Form transportation seems to be easy because distance between company, where the forms were kept, and our new premisses is around 10 miles, But it takes a time.It took us 8 hours, to load, unload and transport this forms.


Long and exausting day it was. Here are some photos of the boat form itself !


Bottom form is 3,70 m. long , 1,6 m. wide made of fiberglass and metal skeleton, plywood stand. Weight is approximately 250 kg. This forms of boat bottom were modeled 7 years ago. Modelling is the hardest and dirtiest job. It takes a lot of time,patience, perfect eye on the details, plastering, sanding because model must be done in perfect summetry and ideal surface. If the model is not perfect, the form and product will not pass the standarts.


Video example of modelling as I don`t have my own videos or photos of modelling our bottom form.


For us it is a bit harder to run this boat building process, because we are bulding new project, not following already existing one. Project will be done side by side with the real boat.

The design of this boat is developed for one person handling. It will be easy , safe and pleasant to handle because all the running rigging can be easily reach by the person handling the boat. It is designed for both left-handed and right-hended.
This sailing boat will be equipped with steering wheel (it will be possible in the future to order boat equipped with tiller and it will be low budget option ).
