s/y Embla	Boat building project
	After 10 years of holiday sailing with our Brofjord 36 motor sailer with Dover and Inverness being our most distant destinations and after many visits to boat exibitions the requirements on our new boat got clear. Finally a couple of hours discussion at the Van de Stadt´s office in Wormerveer aided us in selection of our new boat.  Boat building became our hobby. The boat was built in a boat house in Vänersborg, Sweden while we due to my job were moving around. During the first six years  we were living in a suburb to Stockholm which was 500 km away. Then we moved into a suburb to Göteborg and the distance decreased to 100 km. We had a good boat house with fellow boatbuilding neigbours even if it turned  smaller as the boat grew. The space was only 0,5 m longer and 0,4 m wider than the boat. 1993 Visit to Van de Stadt´s office in Vormerveer,  Holland 1994 The decision to start was taken.
