the truth is that it is difficult to explain the origin of project KIMAKU, but basically it is to look for an alternative, it forms, style (or as they want to call to him) of life different from, we call “western” him generically. (them memory that at the moment for writing these lines the only thing that we have is the name, some savings and much illusion, 12-11-2006) the project basically is to buy a sailboat, to prepare it, to rise when and crossing the world… (it sounds simple, but I assure to them that there are hours and hours of meditation on this) At this moment really I cannot to affirm that the life form about which we thought for our future is the guessed right one, or the universal one. Simply it is a life form that we thought is going to be of our affability. What if I am safe am that I do not like to be with estress every day, does not like to have to pay I to every month an endless ones of expenses, I does not like to see people with long faces by the street, I do not like the commercial centers (shoppings), I do not like the cloggings, I does not like to breathe the air contaminated by the escapes of the vehicles, I does not like not to have time to leave to admire the nature, I does not like not to find the form to love. They were asked that I mean yet this? that the fault has the city, people, etc.? for many it can sound to a triviality but for my, and I repeat for MY, if.
Brief history of the name: like in many other occasions, when putting name to the things, is used a combination of the initials of the names of people. In our case it is KI of Kiku, MA of Martin and KU again of Kiku. But this is not so simple. In Catalan, que maco, means, that pretty. But it is pronounced que maku. (more or less). So with a little imagination we can say that Kimaku, it means that pretty and simultaneously to represent our names.
There am perhaps the amused part but of history here (for us so it is not amused). That it is that we have the name but we do not have the boat. Although I hope that this situation changes soon. There are several candidates to take this name. One is a FURIA 37. For that it does not know boats, this he is a sailboat of 11.70 ms of length, 3.74 of sleeve and 2.14 of openwork. It has a Sole motor of 45 CV and is of year 1988. The distributed interior this in two cabins (stern prow), washbasin with shower (you enter standing up and you do not hit anything), cooks, letter table and an enormous hall. (there is one in Majorca that we like much, the Xambo, photos here) By this time we are with the following activities, requesting the credit, looking for the future swift-sailing mooring for, thinking everything what we pruned to need for the trip and to write down it in a list, to my worries the energy much to me on board and is something in which I do not let think, and the activity that but I make during the day and the night is to dream. Dream every day with the moment for casting off of the port in which we are moored to hoist candles and to extinguish the motor to say: until within long Barcelona time and thanks to allow us to buy the Kimaku. To be able to feel that nothing ties to me, that I do not have to pay nothing to him to nobody, to feel the wind in my skin and the water to move below the helmet. To feel to me truely free. it continued…

Good, lamentably the Xambo has been sold. we were equal because in that price there were two Furies but, one in Menorca and another one in Valencia calm, but incredibly both they have been sold also. In one week 3 furies 37 have been sold. Of course this must be some signal… Now we are seeing other sailboats, but the truth is that it is difficult to find one that pleases to us, that this distributed so well inner, that it has a so pretty line and to a price that we pruned to pay already… we will find it… Single subtraction to hope. This has a good side and one bad one. The good one is that we can continue saving and to see grow the numbers in our account of saving motivates a pile to us. And the bad thing is that we already have many desire to have it, to live in and beginning to prepare it for the trip. Now we have sight one that we perhaps pruned to pay. One is in Corunna, Galicia. He is 37 but with the Youpe of the 382. In the photos it is seen that this conserved good, has a motor already a little but powerful and this almost totally equipped, and what but has called us the attention is the name, is called Kechulo III, that it has enough that to see with the name that we want to put to him to our boat. We will already be adding all the new features that it has on the project, but so far are few… Health…

Good the project to dice a radical upset. We are going to buy the boat to him to my brother. This it is a Blue Water 42 ' Ocean Cruising. Is a steel sailboat of 12.60 Ms of length with a motor Perkins 4 cylinders of 80 horses and old of about 6 years. This boat was thought and designed to make oceanic cruising. It has double rudder (inner and outer) what allows to pilot it with bad weather. They can visit the page of the www.bluewaterboats.com.ar shipbuilder where exactly the photos of this boat. Here they can see some photos of the sailboat here. It is called Club and this moored in Port of Buenos Aires. It we will look for, if everything follows equal, after the summer and we will prepare it for the trip in Argentina and once we will see there where we go.
