Iefke van Gogh (29) and partner Matt Morris (30) build their own wooden sailing yacht in a large shed in Glen Huon (TAS). Construction started in 2019 and is now just over halfway. The goal is to eventually sail the world with this ship. We called Iefke to talk about her love for sailing and wooden boats, and how the two are getting through this long-running project together.

This interview is in Dutch.
