Boatbuilder's comments

 

  • The bottom should be sanded down to the fiberglass because the many layers of bottom paint have accumulated over the years.

  • We have a cutout of the hull from when the bow thruster was installed. In that cut-out, it is clear to see that the "barrier layer", the first hand-laid quantity of fiberglass mats, has a higher percentage of resin. This is important to be able to see, as the barrier layer is crucial to whether a boat is at risk of osmosis or not.

  • If you are looking for a sailboat with features like a larger Hallberg Rassy, but at a lower price, then you can buy Hvalodea, a solidly classic with a center cockpit, strong hull and nice teak interiour
