The old brochure

Back in the old days, when they started to build and produce the boat there was never an intention to sell the Skäreläja abroad. Actually, not even outside the westcoast of Sweden either. One example is the name, it's very hard for a non Nordic citizen to even pronounce the word 'Skäreläja'. Second, the brochure which they used to market the boat, were all in Swedish.

What to do with the fridge space?

In the old kitchen and under the stove we have had a fridge, now we thought of have a cooling box there instead. And the reason why it's a lot of space in there is because the water tank use to be on that side (now we have it in the front, under the beds). We thought we could have a drawer above the cooling box to maximum the space, but if so also have the cooling box itself on a drawer.  Yeah I know, it didn't looked much to the world. But there were still a long way to go before install them into the boat. Now it starts to look better!

Layers of layers

Just before Christmas 2011 Petter, together with friends, had taken up our new boat, during the Winter it should be inside at one small ship yard's garage. Now when the boat finally was up from the sea we could get a better look at the bottom. Petter wrote: " Kalle! Här kommer lite bilder på båten. Det finns lite att göra i botten för er nästa år. Skall försöka få bort rosten från badstegen när båten kommer in i värmen. Den nya masten är under behandling. Massiv teak, som kommer att oljas. Hej! Petter " We decided at that time it would be better to have a shorter mast. We also realized there would be loads of hard work to get rid of the layers of layers of layers of bottom paint. And after the first Finnish season we realized we needed professional help to get rid of all the old paint!
