Silverminken Launched!!!

Silverminken was launched today!!! Woohoo!!

First images of her on the water:

A proud soon-to-be owner!

Here she is in the water next to a 340. The bow is completely vertical, and she somehow manages to integrate power and elegance in a very compact package!

Look at that hull! Those lines! Amazing how that chine is done!

To the right is a Sun Fast 3200. I'm not suggesting anything....

The cockpit, mainsheet traveller and tiller.

You can also see the AP control to the left.

Great working area!

Seeing things like this just really makes the whole project more "real". It's like a dream, and then you see these things that make you realize it is actually real!

Category A!

Kjell Inge and Tor have been busy mounting leads and other extra deck equipment for the ASOP system.

Bad picture, I know - had to use what's available (the phone). Peeked inside - here you can see the instrument panel, stereo and below the panel is the heater control. Harken gear waiting for mounting on the chart table....

Interior. The whole family was there today and all was approved. :)

Just look at all that great running rigging!

....self-portrait.

Now she is waiting for rigging - the rig is arriving today, so in a couple of days she'll be ready for the first sail tests.

Wooohooo!
