Building and sailing the Journeyman 60

2006 – 2014

  • To start: I apologize for the web site not working very well since yesterday. My Internet provider has apparently screwed up things at their end. I hope things will improve, otherwise it will take a few days to move to…

  • Yesterday the team started to lay the deck. This is a rather simple operation, except it is difficult (with a flat deck) to keep the 4mm thin plates straight after welding. But still, it is going quite fast. The skill…

  • First of all I would like to thank all of you who came by to say hello during the Stockholm Boat Show. I was really surprised by the number of people and all the nice comments. Thank You All!! Now…
