Thanks for that link Bjørn ...it answers most of my questions .... wish the early photos of her enlarged.

She is very much longer than Freijsen photo shows.

It would be very interesting to discover what happened to her 1940 - 1946....

Lovely vessel .... just as they should be not a floating ostentatious Gin Palace. Love the tiddly windlass ...port and stbd!!

Piet Hein was a famous Danish character. Using his prowess as a Poet he fortified Danish resistance during the occupation of Denmark.

Scandinavian architects, tired of square buildings but cognizant that circular buildings were impractical, asked Piet Hein for a solution. Applying his mathematical prowess to the problem, Piet Hein proposed to use the 'Superellipse' which became the hallmark of modern Scandinavian architecture. You could buy Stainless Steel superellipses in the late 60's - early 70's as souvenirs... bought a couple myself ... lovely shapes.

A lovely boat.... nice post thanks
