Current projects on BJØRNSUND

Together with a great crew Sebastian rocked the BOOT in Düsseldorf during the last 3 weeks - currently we are working on the last orders ... we are happy about the support and also our sailmaker ship BJØRNSUND got some attention. 

Progress has been made on the construction site. 

Andreas & Basti have installed a beautiful ceiling in the forecastle. The rest of the deck larch has been sawn off and a nice half bevel has been milled on the inner planking. The V4A screws have been countersunk and filled - a little effort for a great finish.

The foundation for water tank I is finished and the oak&ash floor is in place. In total there will be three water tanks and one black water tank. These have been built by Etech in Berlin and will be on the ship soon.

Our wheel has undergone an intensive treatment. Holger has done a great job again. We managed to preserve the outer wooden ring and now the good piece is protected by many layers of varnish.

The two bulkhead doors have been fitted by Basti Bootsbauer into the bulkhead of the engine and mast.

We are currently working on the saloon floor. We are covering 15mm waterproof plywood with 15mm solid oak. Luckily we have been able to get hold of some oak that has been seasoned for years and with a few man-hours we have brought it into shape. At the same time, preparations are underway to install the anchoring system - winch, girders, fairleads, chain guide... complex and important - we want to anchor much later.
