Design No 528
The Gondola is launched in a pond in the Wilhelmina park in Sneek.
There were a lot of people attending the launch.
Design No 529
Based on No 503 I made sketches for an alternative with deckhouse and bilge keels.
This will work much better for the client who wants to beach her upright.
She will get twin electric engines in combination with a big battery pack and generator.
Design 523
The hull of No 523 is nearly ready. Work is on the details, windows watertight doors etc.
She looks great and big.
No 526-523
I work on the second version of No 523. This one gets a swing keel and different interior and deck layout.
Planning is to start in September.
Refit Swan 48
I visited the boat in Kirchdorf at the Baltic. She needs a lot of care to bring her back in solid condition.
In September she will be transported to Modus Marine in Lelystad.
Ontwerp No 527 D12
After some delays at Nedcam, the moulds are ready. At Paul Dijkstra Composites they work hard to get the first boats ready for the Atlantic challenge this year.
