What this video covers
Cecilia Ennals, 17, receives a restoration prize at Vollen — a joint award from Seilmagasinet, Båtmagasinet, and the museum in Vollen — for her work on Brise 9, a 30-sqm spiskatter built in 1945 at Vollen by Anker og Jensen's successor yard.▶ 0:14 She bought the boat two years ago and has focused restoration work on the exterior, replacing and treating rotted sections and refinishing with stain and varnish, while the interior held up well enough to need only minor repairs.▶ 0:53 She plans to strip and varnish the freeboard to address weathering and discoloration in the topsides.▶ 3:43 Safety and navigation gear aboard includes a handheld VHF radio received as a Christmas gift and a phone used for charts; the boat also carries an inboard engine, electric cooler, and a primus stove.▶ 2:51 She participated in Færderseilasen with roughly 400 boats, including a night sail with a spinnaker set.▶ 2:19 A four-week summer cruise along the Swedish coast is planned, with siblings joining for parts of the trip.▶ 1:31 The boat sleeps four comfortably, five at a stretch.▶ 3:21
