Beautiful boat! Your father was a master craftsman. It is too bad he did not get to use it for many years.

Thanks. Found an old photo collection from his first ~10meter steel boat early 90´s. I will try to make some free time and digitalize those soon so i can make similar kind of slideshow video... really nice rusty steel plate images coming :)
Here´s some paint job pics from NS41

Very nice-looking boat! Any pic of the interior?

Need to buy a photo scanner to get better quality but here´s really raw material. Boat got to a finnish "Kippari" magazine. On second pic you can see the sprayed on urethan to reduce sounds and give insulation for changing weathers
