Hi and welcome to my webpage, my name is Bo Johansson and the initial intention to create this website was to keep contact with dear-ones during my project of buying and sailing my Scanmar 35 from Rock Hall Maryland (US) to Stockholm Sweden, this was 2004. I have now sold Isabelle in favor of the 7 feet longer, 2 feet wider and 5 ton heavier Alexandra 2. The reason for this was that I need a boat that is more comfortable in high water, and I can tell you, she really is!!
Originally she is a Scanmar 40, but the previous owners rebuilt her during 9 years to become 2 feet longer, a hole new interior and with a mizzen fitted.
