A Sunny Day in Southern Finland…
Anders KurtenCEO AND part time project manager for the FG43 project Spring is here, and brings with it good tidings. Somebody said that a project managers´ only job is to walk around and ask “Is it ready yet?” and upon hearing the inevitable answer, the unhappy PM will follow through with questions like “Why isn’t it ready yet?” and “When will it be ready then?”. In this particular case of assembling the performance keel which consists of a 1 metric ton steel blade and 2,7 metric ton lead torpedo, everything went smoother and faster than anticipated and we have the performance keel ready for the boat to be lowered upon it a couple of days AHEAD of schedule! Hold your breath for more images shortly…
FG43 is out now! The launch party was held on May 1st, 2008. This site is dedicated to following the design- and building process of the performance yacht. We continue to update this site until the opening of FG43 section on Finngulf site.
