I read an interview with Tord Sund?n about the IF. Apparently the first ten(!) were without the fore hatch and mast bulkhead. All the other 3500 have them!

Nice lamp, as a child it was always fun to get to clean the nav lights.  No such pleasure for most children today.

With your boat on the verge of getting splashed, I'll bet few of us feel as good as you do right now! Congrats (when she gets wet)...

Wow. You're really coming along with your boat!
Congratulations, I'll bet the doghouse is going to be great in stormy, cold seas... but here's hoping all you get are warm, gentle tropical seas.

Hi there Maxiswe...The Hydrovane trade is unbelivable. Not in the best of conditions. I will have it in the next week.
About my planning route for now...
No 1: Put her on a "lorry" and bring her to the Med of the Spanish coast,eg. Portugal?!
No 2: Sail her from R?? trough the canalsystem of Europe to the Med.
No 3: The long opensea sailing across the Northsea, England.
But not this year. WIll test out some gear this 2012. Clear things out with my kids and so...
Couldn't help my self for the tatto.. "The Holy gral of my sailing"
And nice to hear from you all......

Wow! It's really becoming an oceancruiser. And without a mast bulkhead you really get much more interior space, or at least it appears so. Are you living aboard already?
