What a beautiful boat and such a great story. Thankyou for sharing. From a time when boats looked and sailed so well. Sparkman and Stephens really were superb yacht designers. I hope this boat has survived, is still being enjoyed and sailed as often as possible.

Thank's for the kind words. I did this for my father, I will pass this message to him. As far as I know, Meri-Mari is in Helsinki and doing just excellent in our annual wooden boat regattas. S&S still rules. Br, Jyri

Hi Jyri, you are most welcome. It really was a special film about a special boat. I am sure it would have meant a lot to your father. It is wonderful to know that Meri-Mari is still being sailed and enjoyed. We too have a fantastic wooden boat festival here in Hobart every second year. Its aligned with the Port Townsend wooden boat festival in Maine, US. Attending these festivals was the catalyst for me getting into sailing and the desire to own my own boat, one day. I would love a S&S. They sure do rule. There was a superb S&S boat, called Dorade, built back in the 1930s which competed in this year's Sydney to Hobart race. She too is special. Cheers Dave

Sorry to say my father Raimo passed away two months ago. There are not too many people in this film alive, you can reach my mother through me.
