So it began ... Construction Year 5
Pakkelipokka really became Pakkelipokka, even though the
name is big astonisment to many people. Pakkelipokka can´t be boat's name
... Why not?
Midsummer passed by, but eventually came the day when
we launched our boat...
Rainy Monday morning, 1.7.2002, ten years after the first
launch, our Holmö got salt water below her keel - but only for one day.
You can see the whole "picture report" by clicking on any
of the pics on the page.
Pains began immedialy. Boat leaked from just about the only
place that we hadn´t in fact done - keel. Test drive and next morning boat
up to block the leak. The test drive also revealed that the propeller
would need improvement. Well, itwas easy to deal at the same time.
Tuesday morning, 2.7.2002, came ...
With propeller we were lucky. We decided to buy new
propeller. And we got it.
Summer 2002: we did in the first trips. All of the small
has occurred, but if you think that the boat is ready, you are wrong, real
work will start now! It´s at least half-true!
These pages will get new motorboating stories in future, I
hope. While we are waiting for those stories: good winds and pleasant
trips for everyone!
