I'm sure you are busy doing what you are doing,but please tell me this;I plan to visit my daugher this fall in Groningen,do you think your FL26 will be available to see?

The FL26 is my dream boat at this point.I would like to see the only one that exists!

thanks,

Rob
Hi Rob, you're welcome of course, but I just notice that this board has no pm system and no emailadress in the profile.
My website is http://www.woodworking.nl and my mailadress is jaap at woodworking dot nl. please send a mail if you want to see the boat. If you go to Groningen, it takes you about a 20 minutes drive extra to see the boat.

Thank you all for the nice postings, it is a bit strange to live in this beautiful country and to have a unfinished boat at home. My friend wants to launch it unpainted (not the last finish) to see if everything is ok and to mark the waterline. I'll keep you posted with info and pictures.

A little update. My friends finished the outside of the hull, deck and cockpit! It came as a little surprise, my wife is few days in the Netherlands and visited our house and to our surprise they just finished the outside. The hull is quartzgrey, a grey coming from brown as Thijs (the finisher) told us and deck and cockpit are white (lightly creamy). The hull looks fantastic, my wife said, absolutely flawless finish. Unfortunately the iphone photo's are not super, better will follow soon. It is now winter in Europe, but the boat will be definitely in the water next spring. Not completely finished on the inside but ready to use, with a canvas cover, cushions etc.
