AmaJuta, former Miss Illy,  came into my life after I returned from a longer journey in the south Pacific.

Back home at Lake Constance, I planned to get my very own sailing boat for traveling and to create a little "nautical handicraft project" which should develop from journey to journey. After almost half a year of searching, I bumped into HER on the other lake shore and one week later she was mine.

Fulfilling all my expected features: affordable, seaworthy, easy single-handling, functional interior/exterior layout, transportable with little effort and a bit good looking* too.

At the very beginning:

The outer and inner appearance change and "becoming Swiss": April 2014 at Esaom cantieri navali di Portoferraio - an Easter handicraft holiday

Some technical improvement and added equipment ("give me some tools and a sail boat on a shipyard and I'm happy!"):
