Welcome to Freedom sail

The first trip to Nikolaev and Odessa

Created: Monday, 07 September 2009

This was definitely the very first step. The purpose of this trip was to see shipyards, understand the shipbuilder's technologies and assess their strength in the upcoming event.

I visited several factories, talked to shipbuilders, looked at their work.

Finally I decided to build my own sailing  yacht with modern materials and building techniques.

For safety reasons in a long cruising, I opted for metal housing. 

Why I chose metal? I was guided by the following key arguments:

1. The metal is durable and  plastic.

2. The metal is easy to be repaired.

You may say, that metal is not such a modern material, but till now it did not lose its relevance and still remain as contemporary material.

In principle, it provides the most passive safety for the cruise.

Then came a period of conversations and correspondences by mail, and after about six months, I signed the contract and we began to build the yacht.

 


This event occurred before the creation of this site.
