The construction phase
The construction started in August 2014. The hull is built up from a temporary plywood frame cut out from the designer's CAD drawings, on to which Divynicell foam plates are laid to create a plug for the outler laminate, molded directly on top of the foam plates using vacuum infusion technique with an epoxy resin. Later the hull is turned up side down and the inner laminate is molded in a similar fashion. The end result is a very strong and light sandwich hull that is 100% watertight.
Excited owner on first inspection!

Summer 2023 - Never tired of the Kyklades and Aegean Sea, Greece
Another super season that took us back to many familiar lovely places in the Kyklades, ending in long time favourite Kalotyri at Amorgos. But also explored a few new places, like on Spetses and Varkiza at Athens Riviera. We've been a bit more "parked" than usual in sheltered Schinoussa due the severe effects of storm Daniel further west, but practically unnoticed where we were, and we got new friends in neighbouring boats! Logged 700nm in two sessions, with a mid summer break. (Click on images to expand).
