Falcon 44: Job

My friend Piet Bos has built this beautifull sailing boat in 2,5 years!
Its design is from Cees v.d. Stadt from Sattelite Design.
Type of the boat: Falcon 44, with a retractable keel.
He is now on a world wide sailing trip with his wife Tine.
At the moment on the hard in Portimao, Portugal.
He has an ambitieus sailing plan: Madeira, Canary Islands, Cabo Verde, Brasil, Argentina,
Antartica, Chili, French Polynesie, Hawai to Alaska!
I hope to join him on this trip for some time in the next winter.
These photo's are from her try-outs.
Afterwards he made a wonderfull doghouse on the boat.
