Imagine a boat which is narrow and fast...
She must be a 35 footer!

Wooden boats are very close to my heart

The real sound comes from the wooden boat when waves are crossing the beautiful line of her. S/y Tuulia has a interesting history from the launch of her from Pietarsaari thru the cities called Vaasa, Oulu and lake Saimaa after I bought her in Kotka town. I sold her to Jukka Törhönen and Pekka Myyry to Mustikkamaa in Helsinki.
