Almost every boat was made for a customer, therefore all of them are unique in it's own way. The body is the same, but both deck or interior can differ between different boats.
And once again we're seaborn! Because of the COVID-19 situation, our Captain Keijo did all the work himself! The crew embarked later in the evening, with lots of joy!
There's two ways to control the Skäreläja; either "inside" the pilothouse or in the stern. And if you steer the boat from the stern, you need a tiller. When our boat arrived from Sweden we had a provisional solution for the summer (of 2012) and a piece of oak... That provisional solution have been in the boat till this summer when I finally realized and accepted, the new tiller would not be done with magic. I have to do it myself. And even if I'm not a real woodworker the result turned out to be better than I hoped for!
Yesterday was a sad day. The summer is official over. Winter is coming. The boat is now up and covered, engine is preserved with glycol. We're ready for the winter. The first years it took a weekend, two days, to build the structure and cover the boat. Yesterday we did it in less than six hours. We have begun to get the routine.
