“The boat show offers rocking nostalgia”
“the 100-årsjubilerande the boat club set out his armada”
“this Year’s boat show ”Everything for the lake” offers plenty of plotters, gadgets in composite materials and – of course – the wi-fi on board.”
“But it is not only the newest new that attracts sjöbjörnarna.”
“In a hall shines, the varnished mahognyn and glitters seizures. Heleneborgs yacht club will celebrate its 100th anniversary by setting out a weather-beaten but very välputsad armada.”
“the boat club has its docks in Pålsundet, the more than båtshakebreda vattenpassagen between Södermalm and Långholmen in Stockholm. Eighteen of the båtklubbens of all kinds have been brought out of their hibernating and will be highlighted at the fair together with a bunch of not quite as weathered but very välputsande skipper.”
” We are probably the one club in Sweden that has the most number of boats, approximately 150 pieces. The reason is that the space has become less of the old boats at other clubs while we see that there is space and the opportunity to work with the boat even during the summer. Some renovation projects take quite a bit of time. And so collected, of course, a lot of knowledge and enthusiasm with us. It will be easier to try and get this boat on the bryggrannarna also agree on, ” says Stefan Iwanowski, who guides us around the, among the gleaming hulls.”
“In some mysterious way he seems to be able to read reportertankar that ”there must be a full-time job” and ”not for all the sandpaper in Småland”.”
“– It is actually not more of a job with a well maintained boat than a dingy, highlights Iwanowski.”
“Easy or not – this is just over one hundred years of boats, from the varpbåten Red Bear from the late 1800s to the Skiff Craften Doris from 1989u002F90. This period coincides quite well with the fritidsbåtens history in Sweden.”
“the Embryo of Heleneborgs yacht club occurred at the end of the last century, when the owner to the various supply ships helped each other to guard the ships. The whole was then developed into a more formal arbetarbåtklubb with most rowing and sailing boats. Motordriften came with Petterssonbåten – and there are a bunch to admire at the show. These became during the interwar period the ticket out in the archipelago for many with the thinner wallet. Both CG Pettersson, and several other shipyards built the various models and the händige could buy the drawing (or borrow from a friend) and build yourself.”
“in 1938, the attendance was a fact about two weeks of vacation and boating got further tailwind. And when the plastic broke through in the early 70’s it became a popular movement seriously.”
“Solid plastic may not be entirely okay in this context? Yes, among all the wood is Frida, a Monarch 670 from 1979 – and shine she is.”
“We are sailing on towards the Iwanowskis eyes, Petterssonbåten Lice from the 1920s. Co-owner Curt Lagerström is only 15 years younger than the boat but don’t think the maintenance is especially laborious, although he implies that it goes more time to trim and paint than the actual freeride snowboarders. (Jo, jo…)”
“– But we still go not so far out with this. It is so narrow, you have to face bigger waves straight forward and today’s motorboats pulls up so much surge. Especially as they are always going to run close to and look into.”
“Loris (WHEELHOUSE WITH HEADLAMPS AND WHITE FENDERT + VALVE WITH FRÄLSARKRANS + WHITE UMBRELLAS)”
“Here we hear not only båthistoriens the sound of the waves. The 15 metres long motoryachten Loris was built for the financier Ivar Krueger on Hästholmsvarvet in Nacka, sweden in 1913. The nearly two-ton engine gave a breathtaking top speed of 27 knots. After the kreuger crash in 1932, it went just as bad for the Loris as for tändsticksimperiet. When the Mats Arrhénborg bought her a little on the chance she was a ”complete wreck”. “
“– We had only heard rumors that it could be kreuger’s boat so we got in contact with tv-filmmaker and historian Olle Häger and he showed us a picture of our boat with Kreuger, Mary Pickford, Douglas Fairbanks and Greta Garbo on board! And with the history of the hedged could we get help with the renovation by an ALU-projects at the Stockholm folk high school.”
“• the boat show All of the lake at the stockholm international fairs in Älvsjö is open until 10 march.”
