Here starts our five part trilogy about searching for new Suwena. When we started the boating in 2008 we really fell into it at once. We have been travelling across the globe for our work several times a year, but
After making our target we started to think about what kind of a boat we need to fulfill our dream. For exploring the Baltic Sea our boat Skorgenes 335 Fly would be good enough. Her technical capabilities and living quarters
Would a sailboat be an option for us? Sailboats are used routinely to do circumnavigations and there are a plenty of choices. So we started to look at sailboat options. We used a similar list of requirements that we did
The search of a new Suwena is advanced to the point that we had two very different boats based on different technology: Nordhavn and Nauticat. We had arranged a seatrial of both boats to understand their soul better and highlight
New Suwena is being built right now at full speed in Nauticat Yachts boatyard in Pöytyä, Finland. In the mean time we are waiting very impatiently for the next May. The Suwena will be launched into water then. Here is
The Nauticat 441 Suwena’s construction began when at the end of successful negotiations we signed a boat contract. More than a year of negotiations resulted that we had in hand a tall pile of papers, which described all Suwena’s structural
The manufacturing of the Nauticat 441 boat starts with the lamination of the hull and the deck. All Nauticat boats are made of solid single skin laminate by hand laminating. The manufacturing process starts by laminating two half hulls into
Metal and woodwork started after the joining of the deck and the hull. For average boater the visible metalworks are swimming platform, railings and bowspirit. Here are few remarks from our yacht. The dinghy has been a major factor in
In the past the boats were built from the wood. Nowadays the wood have been largely superseded by GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic). The Nauticat however holds on the wood craftsmanship as the yachts interior is built by using the traditional
The yacht manufacturing is a multidimensional project where many craftsmanships disciplines are integrated. Usually nobody thinks about this because the boat is seen as the complete yacht. Now we have followed the complete boat construction we really can appreciate how
