The first trip to Nikolaev and Odessa
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.
