Anchor trial in bow roller.

I really like our new dinghy. It can take a lot of people, and I could haul it up on deck alone if needed. And it sails!

From the inside

And from the outside.

Quite often people want to see pictures from the interior. I normally come up with a really bad explanation that I don’t have any working digital camera except my mobile phone (which is correct btw). But the truth is that the interior looks really bad on photos. Often tools are spread all over the place, and since painting and hardwood trim goes on last, everything looks dirty and unfinished.

Like this:

A mess, no?

Here is another picture of one of the children’s bunks. It is big enough for any normal adult. But we made a special bulkhead to make it like their own little cabin. We also made some bookshelves. This will look much better when painted.

Did I say it will look much better with some paint on it?

And now for the surprise:

A sailing and rowing dinghy!

We would appreciate ideas for a name. Ida and Joel only created a list of 20 or so. Joels favorite name for the tender right now is “daddy” (but in Swedish of course). Personally I think it might lead to misunderstandings…
