Launch! 7 year restoration nearing completion.

SWE31 Silvervingen is launched today after 7 years of restoration work. It feels fantastic for us on the side line, but must feel unreal for the restorer himself. Local newspaper was present and the launch went without a hitch.

Hardware being installed. The boat looks so cool in real life. Pictures does not make it justice.

New varnish on the deck. Next is installation of hardware. Mast has been painted (painstakingly) white. Sanding, etching primer, base primer and top coat.

Painted! Soon ready for launch!

SWE31 Silvervingen has gotten a fresh coat of paint and will be launched soon! 7 years in the making!
