By way of a translation. from Finnish to English:

We do have a vocal sweedish speaking minority over here...a bit like Canadian have their duplex. Some like their le bic macks!

Very nice boat. Why is that combination of wood and brass such appealing? Is it the FEEL of good honesta materials and forms that are no pretentious?
