SHIPWRIGHTS STORY
My 40 year journey as an old shipwright and modern boatbuilder, pictures and stories of past restorations and house building projects
URBS UCRA
The 30 foot mahogany top to bottom Berlin Mueggelsee build “Urbs Ucra” …lol… which is still sailing with us now board on the Haff Lagoon. Front in the companion way as a look out under the sail because of the narrow entrance.

Just look at my mothers body posture and of course PROUD helmsman by whizzing quickly back into the river Uecker or Ucra having won jet another trophy after the race. Dad made Commodore twice in his lifetime and I am making sure he is standing for a round of thirds, at least at the bar.
Another lovely green GRP sailing dinghy for our four children Sylke Beate Nils and Ulrike. “Flying Pommer” my girlfriend, later many many many times on Hiddensee. We christened it, by suggestion from her Hamburg visiting Uncle on the little river Zarow west off the river Uecker. Only about three miles west.
And again of course our another real small children's learning trapeze shaped wooden optimist called “Smiet Üm”. Still in the club.
RESTORATIONS
write a piece about your most interesting restoration with a mention to others important to your story?…… is saying my web designer and I can not think straight any more! There's so much to say, I'll come back to this later!…
NOT JUST BOATS!
Any particularly interesting story connected to you or travels to carry out other carpentry/builds?……
Juncker Marine Limited – Barton on Sea
Because after all it is a commercial website as well.
Also my plans for the merchant harbour and port ( Hochheitsgebiet ), which means no public access
Ueckermünde – Berndshof
To turn it into a future homeport for the luxurious 120 Meter fleet from Antigua & Barbuda ect. and the rest of the world perhaps to explore the entire pomeranian beautiful beigy sandy soft beaches on the very possible route through the russian enclave to end up along the ever so sunny and warm southern and shorter route in Saint Petersbourg…..
The Berliner Mauer fell and the cold war is over.
Why the west keep on pushing East I can't quite fathom and instead give the very young democracy of the Nation Russia a chance to breathe. America had over 250 years!!!
Ukraine probably ends up in NATO, but what for?
To the go to the Artic and the Mongolian Planes and Japan to finish the pincer movement?
Very arcake and medieval behaviour of the West and completely unnecessary.
But I am meanwhile getting ready for the day then first Feadship 150 foot sails through, after dwarfing the russian patrol boat checking the papers ( poor russian navy fellows ) perhaps and me sitting in the Cremlin and drinking water and Wodka with Vladimir Illjitsch Putin and grinning across the long table in german…….lol….as a human hostage, so the Feadship doesn't get compounded like all the russian once on the Thames and La Nero in English Harbour Antigua.
As in tit for tat and I end up in a Siberian gulag…..ldl ( Lautes deutsches Lachen )
Mind you I always wanted to travel Russia and a preferential treatment as a prisoner has a kind of temptation to me….lol
