How to make a new yard, step 1. 😊 This week has included locating, taking down, debarking and preparing timber that will become six new yards on the ship! Heading out on our big expedition to Asia next year, we need to bring spare yards with us, and this week has been very busy at the sawmill outside of Laholm. Once the first processing of the logs has been done, they will be brought back to the workshop in Gothenburg where the work will continue. For the rig enthusiasts: The first log in the video will be an angled mizzan yard (latine yard). The second will be the second half of our main yard. One of the logs will also be our new spritsail yard to replace the one that broke this summer. The current one will go back to being the spare spritsail yard. A big thank you to Södra , SnickarNilsson, JB Riggers and PG Kran AB!

At her launch, Lady Moura was the most expensive and innovative yacht in the world. A true statement of success at a 105m, built as a private yacht by Blohm + Voss. She registered as the ninth largest yacht ever built in an era when clients of Royal status were nearly the only people capable of considering such an opulent vessel. Coupled with the most innovative systems and engineering, Lady Moura set a new standard in yachting, earning her the modern accolade of the original superyacht. http://bit.ly/2wbdz9I

Tying your first bowline knot feels impossible… until one day it doesn’t. ⛵️ I still remember how awkward my hands felt when I tried it the first time. But with practice — and good mentors — it became second nature.. like doing it blindfolded😎 I’d like to invite you to my Sailing School, where we learn all the basics and skills you need — from navigation and knots to safety and docking. Not just to “get a license,” but to one day take your friends or family on your own trip, explore new places, and feel the freedom of being the captain. 🌊✨ 📖 *Theory Course* starts September 2025 (online) ⛵️ *Practice Week* → November 1–7, 2025 (Mallorca)
