Finally out with some photos from the 2022 Hanko Regatta. Busy with opening the first exhibition at my new Hanko office "Kulturvärk i Hangö" including a gallery space.

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 original drawings have been compared to the 3D model of the hull and some deviations have been found. Peter Granström...
