On my voyages around the world, I have witnessed firsthand how nature has changed. The biodiversity has narrowed and continues to do so; there are fewer birds, fewer fish, fewer sea mammals. All the trash in the sea and the smog above the shipping routes are giving a strong signal.
As someone who loves nature and the sea, and also speaking as a grandfather, I want to take action to preserve this beautiful planet for generations to come. In my future projects, I want to work in cooperation with companies and organizations that are part of the solution, not part of the problem. I want to promote innovations, concrete solutions, and ways as to what we can do, to keep our planet clean, diverse, and viable.
We still have time to put it right!

We did some updating for our website. Work is still in progress (when is a website ever complete?) so it's worth revisiting the site from time to time. Naturally, we’ll advertise any bigger updates also here. 😎

Olin Stephens, designer of both Asteria and Galiana, one of my heroes.“I was lucky: I had a goal. As far back as I can remember I wanted to design fast boats.”
-Olin Stephens, All This and Sailing, Too
Standing on the deck of Intrepid, the big sister of my Iroquois. My hero also!
And for me a special as I got a change to meet with him in person. As a result I bought plans of one of his designs and still dream of building it.
Just guess who designed Lightning!
Hey this is guy I went out sailing with in Helsinki 2002 on S&S Swan 41. Quite an experience... 😁

Christmas came early this year for me.
In the Golden Globe Race I had three different sextants with me, but quite soon the Cassens & Plath one became my favourite. The optics are surely second to none and the easily adjusted polarized shades make using the sextant easy and safe for the eyes. After the race while taking Asteria back to Finland through Kiel Canal, I sent my instrument to the Cassens & Plath factory in Bremerhaven for service after 28.000 nautical miles. The contact turned into nice relationship with the renowned company which now has led into a sponsorship agreement including a brand new sextant with two cases and new compasses for both Asteria and Galiana for the Golden Globe Race 2022 and Ocean Globe Race 2023. I am proud and thankful to have close cooperation with this iconic brand of high quality German nautical precision instruments. Photos Pia Grönblom.
Joko sä löysit sille vanhalle käyttöä vai laitatko myyntiin?
Onnittelut, maanmittarina nuo optismekaaniset laitteet on aina kiinnostanut. Hieno Swan puolimalli muuten taustalla, ilmeisesti alkuperäinen?
Tapio olen juuri suunnitellut sextantin hankintaa. Mitä mallia suosittelisit aloittelevalle tähtitieteellisen navigoinnin harrastajalle?
Congratulations, a partnership that is in favour for both!
Vähän vanhempi, mutta toimii 😉
That is a wonderful relationship to have. You will make your way quickly to Tasmania next time, Tapio!
Upea lahja - täyttä tavaraa - huipputoimintaa!
Hienoa, eiköhän noilla pärjää pari reissua.
Happy for You!
Ihana Tapio ❤
Hienoa, onneks olkoon uudelle kumppanuudelle!
Sweet!
Wau! Hienoa!
💙💙💙
