  • Thanks a lot. Yes, it's always an exciting moment, when the ship splashes into the basin. I hope to get the next one in about six months again. Hopefully with better conditions around. Last Friday we had blue skies first and then it gradually turned into overcast and started raining.
  • Stunning photo Andreas
  • A great shot whatever Andreas
  • I've asked a company nearby to get the permission using their commercial area at the opposite of the slipway - the pole position. But they denied for good reasons.
    • Job Worth People. Safety reason I bet.
  • Thank you Jack, meanwhile I'm a little bit familiar with the launching ritual. This time I even caught the very moment, when the bottle crushed at the bow :-)
  • Great timing Andreas
