The Launch of Jonas Boat


Jonas's life stor, the very short version

When Jonas was 11 his Mum and Dad sailed him and his sister around the world from Germany to New Zealand on a boat. When they arrived he built a beautiful house on a hill in Pataua over looking the bay.
Shortly after he began building a giant luxury catamaran with his friends in a barn at the bottom of the hill. I remember going in there was like visiting an undercover alien space program. The boat was so futuristic and made Jonas look like a young astronaut from Nasa.

When his Dad died Jonas and his Mum carried on the project, never having built a boat before. It took them 8 years. Putting it in the water was pretty tense.
