…and some work. After two years of work at the yard we went back into the water again. We were rewarded by weeks of great sailing fun. Check out our newest galleries.

2023 – Deck finalized
The past years we worked very hard on the deck project starting from the bow. Now the stern was the only area left and 2023 we finalized it – yeah (click here). The whole deck now consists of mahogani plywood as the base material, 2-4 layers of glass fibre in epoxy resin, epoxy fairing compound, epoxy primers and at least 3 layers of PU deck paint, everything 2K of course. Brand new toe rails, cleats and other fittings give the deck a shiny and simply great appearance.
Holidays at the Ship Yard
Once again we booked the dry workshop of the Dick ship yard to give the port side of the deck „some“ attention. Two weeks flew by. See the results and the full picture story.. Now the stern is the only area left and we are quite confident to finally finish it in 2023.
Life On Board 2021
Instead of sailing I would call this years activity „life on board“. And at the very end of our holidays we even had the opportunity to take a refreshing bath and use the Baltic Sea as our private swimming pool – despite the rough weather we experienced way too often. What a great finish! 🙂
Sailing 2020
Despite the Corona pandemic sailing holidays were on the agenda. Yeah! If you avoid crowded habors where can you be safer than on-board your sailboat…?
2020 – Foredeck Finished
Finally Frank and I managed to finalize the fordeck project. We are very happy with the results.The full picture story can be found here. And after that we even had time left to take care of the cockpit. Thanks to 3d-printing and a cutting machine we were able to achieve perfect results.
Rolling Stone goes 3D-Printing
The time was ripe to add a new and powerful tool to optimize our workshop and greatly improve our engineering capabilities. The combination of powerful 3D-CAD and subsequent 3D-printing makes it possible to design & produce tailored components for almost every application in a top quality. Although our first prints (covers, boxes, supports,..) are kind of techical gadgets as you see below, the possibilities are almost endless. Of course you must consider strength, durability, fatigue, resistance and other requirements, but that is exactly what I deal with daily in the course of my work :-).
2003 – In Retrospect
Finally I managed to digitize the negatives of our trip from Norway to Germany in the year 2003. Man, we were young 🙂
2019 – Work Done
See here what happened this year onboard Rolling Stone.
The Original Logbook
Once again a hearty „thank you“ to Robby for sending us the original log book of Rolling Stone. Especially the guest log of the launch day is simply great. Lester Stone, Peter Burrowes, Chuck Burns, David Shaw and many more were onboard during that day. The original list you’ll find in the launch day section.
