Interview about building our ship boats

Interview with Martin and Mathias Ravanis

25 March 2024

During Gothenbug Boat Show in February, me managed to meet up with the Ravanis brothers and ask them a couple of questions about the building of our two ship boats.

Interview with Martin and Mathias Ravanis

We were invited to the Gothenburg Boat Show in February.  The invitation came from Västkustens träbåtsförening in the hope to promote the Gothneburg row in August. We are currently planning on participating in the row witt both our ship boats Mattias and Martin, but we only brought Mattias to the boat show.

On the boat show, we got the opportunity to speak with Martin and Mathias Ravanis from Nyhamns såg & Båtbyggeri. They are the twoship builders who built our ship boats.

Have a look at the youtube film below.
