    So, after some hectic time without time for boat related stuff, we went out to Linnea this sunday and started renovating the companionway hatch and cleaned some diesel from the bilges. Also took some notes on the new deck box lids we will make this winter.

    Here is a pic on the boat on land:

    • Hello

      I have a junkrigged Fingal 28 lying in Holland at the moment. I just like to know were did you find the bamboo poles in Germany?
      I´d like to replace the highest batten and the boom with bamboo, because the aluminium ones i do have at the moment are too heavy.
      I just found out that Bamboo pole 50/55mm x 6 m is just around 3 kg? Is it really so light?
      The aluminium ones i have are 65/3mm x 6m.
      If you can help me find the supplier in Germany, i can take contact with them.

      You have a really beautiful boat!!

      Thank You

    • Hi Kari. Here is the adress of the company that sent us bamboo from Germany.

      > BambusCentrum Deutschland
      > Baumschule Eberts GbR
      > Wolfgang Eberts und Friedrich Eberts
      > Saarstraße 3-5 D-76532 Baden-Baden

      I am really not sure that aluminium would be havier, though. Even if bamboo really is a light material, you might get cracks etc in it, so they need to be oversized. We are planning on changeing from bamboo to aluminium.

    • Hej,
      Vilken fantastisk båt du har, och ett underbart namn. Min yngsta dotter heter Linnea.

      Jag har köpt ett skrov och däck. Det är 11 meter långt och 4 meter brett, Colin Archer typ. Jag funderar nu på att rigga henne med en eller två master och en djonkrigg. Är intresserad av att få komma i kontakt med Dig för att diskutera frågan om det är lämpligt att rigga henne med en djonkrigg och om så är fallet vem som kan räkna på storlek på master och segel m.m.
      Mvh
      Erik
