Visited Peter Granström at Tammisaaren Veneveistämö for the third time to follow up with progress of restoration of the 6mR Renata. At the moment the hull looks like a skeleton, which is getting a new spine as the new keel stock and stem are being installed. A lot of caution is also set in restoring the original shape of the hull as it has changed during its long life since 1927.

The soon 50 year old 505 class had their Nordic Championship in Helsinki organized by HSK. Photos are from Saturday, second day, first race. Clear sunny weather with 5-7 m/s wind from east following the sun. Final results. Also met (once again) my photographing fellow Kari Wilén, who happens to be a sailor from the only Finnish team which ever won a World Championship medal in this class. This happened 1972 in Hanko, Finland.

The restoration of 6mR yacht Renata continues at Ekenäs Båtvarv. The hull has been measured with high precision and compared to the original drawings. Boat builder Peter Granström has now made the first parts of new wood from Touchwood BV in the Netherlands. These are the parts that form the lengthwise shape of the hull, so the precision and connection angles between the parts are critical for a successful renovation. Sailpix will be following the project.
