Telakalla kaikki hyvin... mitä nyt hiukan on vesi noussut.

Sea water and ice was little bit high yesterday.

Hard top bimini, new pictures

I didn't like the original plan of hard top, so I have been actually making modifications into this. I have manufactured plugs for 3rd and 4th pillar. Now it was good time to update this into pictures. Also main pillar front corners needs to be widened, but that can be done later. Colour will be white, not blue as originally planned.

Kattomuotti valmis - hard top bimini

Nyt se on valmis! Aikaa meni 1,5 kuukautta, lähinnä arki-iltaisin tehden.

The mold for hard top bimini is now ready. It took one and half months. Now the mold will be transported for storaging, and roof will be laminated next year.

End of the season

Winter is coming, so... end of the boating season 2014. Summer was hot and winds were calm. About 390 nautical miles.
