Sakari, you have a very fine boat there. How long did it take to
complete? I hope you did not suffer a major loss when your boat was
vandalized. It is a shame that others show such little respect for
another persons labor and dreams.
I was under the impression that Finland was a particularly law
abiding country with no crime to speak of. I am curious about the
charges in your country to register your boat?

She feels plenty fast.

weeks starting Friday the 9th. I'll be going to the 'quiet lake' that
is mentioned on Duckworks; I'm building a small sailboat for this right
now (can't afford a trailer for the CC Skiff.)
By the way, the Duckworks text was not intended to be published.
It was just meant as an explanation why I wasn't prepared to
write an article...

Very Nice boat Sakari, and what a beautiful location.
How many horsepower is the motor, and how fast does she go?

who have kindly volunteered to tie the lines. If I were alone,
well, it would be a sorry sight.
Part of the problem is that the slip is rather narrow and close
to the shore (in the photo, I'm just out of it, reversing.) The
speed has to be low, so steering is difficult. When docking, a
burst of reverse has often been needed. But it has to be timed
just right...

I'll bet part of the problem is the inherent difficulty in precisely
maneuvering a shallow flattie with a lot of windage. It gets easier with
practice, but believe me it's easy to embarrass yourself with one of these.
It pays to be patient and have a sense of humor.
I'm trying to plan a business trip to Finland for later in the month of
August, I'd love to see your boat if our schedules permit. (I work for a
Finnish company, BTW).

Is the docking problem you mentioned caused by the operator being in

I've wondered about a couple of PCB's boats in that regard.

Sakari, I love your choice of colours. The CC Skiff looks great. Be
careful out there with all the Baltic traffic. I reccomend the
books "Chapman's Piloting" to help explain the waterways rules. It's
very good, with lots of photos and diagrams. At least all the other
skippers will see you coming. Enjoy her. Does she have a name?
