Complete rebuilt of: |
International America's Cup Class (IACC) boats - NZL39 & GBR52 |
Apr/May 2005 - Kiel/Germany |

Function: In charge of complete rebuilt IACC NZL39.
In two months on both boats all the deck gear, grinding system, hydraulics, electrics and electronics, standing rigging, mast, ropes etc. was stripped, serviced and installed again. Boats were sanded and painted (deck paint and anti-fouling). Engines were installed, too.
Useful hints ;-)
1. Don't do it outside, during coldest spring since 15 years.
2. You need more than three helpers. (Many thanks to great guys:Ali, Stephan and Mathias)
3. 12 or 14 hours a day, everyday for a month and a half will make you tired.
