In Sweden this is not the problem really, our accidents are almost always connected with drunk driving. The only license that will take care of...
This is not a big issue since we already have the second license since at least 50 years and the third is also mandatory today, but for boats...
The lemon squeezer is nice to look at, but pretty useless (juice-less?). Perhaps the yacht will be as wet over the bow as you get from using the...
Thanks TRY, you are right about the multi-climate issue. People often see the boat at an indoor boat show first time and dream about sunny weather...

Codger, yes she has two sidedecks and will probably have a door each side. Jannick, good that you like the design as you proposed! The props is...
Evo II I am using my sparetime to find the right lines for our future 50-footer. It is fun but also challenging to keep our signature look and...
Yes, all the time...;)
I was only referring to winter ice and this year it was more sea ice between Greenland and Canada than over the last 15 years says NASA. What will...

OK, I was talking to the guy who is responsible for IPS at Volvo Penta Sweden and he said I could not use 22°. He also said that it increased the...
Kelly, did you know that a 375 hp petrol V8 is now available with IPS on some markets, I guess the US being one of them.
On this, I think they have gained more experience today and especially with the IPS II and more powerful engines you will have problems. Not only...
Kelly, your observations are right, there has to be some surrounding support lines with a reversed windscreen to make it look OK. The transom is...
Codger, I was just now talking with my father on similarities between Sweden and Canada and to some extent also New Zealand. Not only are our...
Yes Nilo, it is just a matter of how different you dare to be...:) As an example, Fjord made a 40-footer that reminds quite a lot of my...
Thanks Jannick, maybe you are right, I´ll give it a try. Codger, this is why I am hesitating, a production boat for about € 1 million must be...
For the coming 50-footer I have considered to use the "grey-line" design I showed in my first thread on YachtForums in 2004. It is hard to know if...
