Backe builds a boat

It took Jan von der Bank 3650 hours of construction to get his retro racer RÈMY, made of plywood, epoxy resin and mahogany veneer, out of the tiny garage yard next to his house and launch it.
This book documents all the construction steps from the erection of the first frames in February 2017, through the finishing, veneering and painting of the hull, the interior finishing of the cabin, the casting and installation of the keel, rigging of the mast, to the christening and the first successful sail off Kiel in June 2022.
In addition, a very personal view of an intense, sometimes adventurous time opens up, which gave the author and boat builder, in addition to the joy of craftsmanship, many new friendships and some surprising insights about themselves. And in the end a special yacht, which with its many surprising details probably does not exist a second time.
This book is bilingual in German and English throughout.
