Some information about the yard

The Maestro Yard is strategically located on Finlands West Coast in the region famous for boatbuilding since the 17th century when the great crafstmen of their time built trading vessels sailing between Finland and Sweden.
The yard is only 20 km away from the Nautor Swan yard and 2km from the Baltic Yachts Yard and has been producing yachts for over 30 years.
At Meastro they maintain the tradition for building quality boats and offer a range of Ocean going cruising and racing yachts of the highest standard, both for family use and competitive sailing.

Some back ground info on the designer

Pekka Koskenkyla (founder of Nautor) wrote in 'How the Swans were born' the following...
"It all started as a hobby. I grew up on the coast (Helsinki) and I have always had or wanted to have boats. My first vessel was a canoe, which I built myself in the evenings after school at the age of 14. In fact next year I built five of them for sale. Then nothing much happened in my boat building career for ten years because of school and university, where I majored in economics.
After graduation I wanted to have my own boat, so I started to build a wooden sailing boat of 11 meters. I worked in the evenings and weekends in my father-in-law's shed in Pietarsaari, where I had a job selling paper sacs. It took about 2 years to finish the boat and when it was almost complete a dentist from Helsinki wanted to buy it.
The first boat that I built was designed by a local amateur naval architect and full time teacher of mathematics, Eivind Still. He was naturally disappointed, when I decided not to use his drawings ( for the Nautor Swans ), but Eivind Still later became quite well-known in Scandinavia with the many boats that he later designed."
