Background

Sailing and working on ships is, from a young age, my way of life. My education (including HTS naval architecture and Sea- Diving- and Executive Officer at the Royal Netherlands Navy), my work (including countless finishing, modification and repair jobs on yachts) and my leisure activities, are largely determined by it. Even now, after my switch to a motorboat for use on the Dutch inland waters, these activities still give me a lot of fun.

The start of this web page

After noticing rudder problems with our motorboat, finding appropriate information was a rather difficult process.

Because the rudder is such an important ship's part, I documented my work on designing and constructing a new rudder.

Also some other completed projects might be of interst to you. 

 

The purpose

The purpose of this website is to share nautical-technical knowledge in a readable form.

This may lead to the improvement of vessels or inspiration for study or other activities.

Being technically creative around vessels, learn while playing, can be fascinating and can give a lot of satisfaction.
