Adolf Gustavsson's self-built "Julla". The boat has a 3.5 hp Wickström engine and a large silencer, so you didn't hear the sound of the engine when he came driving, only the sound from the bow. He also had sails, so when the wind was favorable he sailed, because he had time.
Miscellaneous
He built the boat himself in the old barn on Hästö, about 1979-1982, from the boat boards that remained after Sven Lans had built a 6.5m boat for him. Adolf had ordered the boards for that boat from Arne Mårtensson in Kittuis, who both cut logs and sawed them into boat boards. The large silencer was welded by Bertel Eklund, Hyppeis.
