17th of February the great Skipper passed away
Yesterday evening my Father PT Matikainen passed away. He loved sailing and was very actively sailing during his adult life. He skippered and owned many fabulous yachts like Stella Polaris (Westerly conway 36), Miriam (Swan 431), Maija (Swan 46) and until the end of the last summer Päivänsäde (sunbeam 37).... and many others.
He founded sailing club Marjaniemen Purjehtijat together with Unto Rissanen and heavily financed it to get a good start.
Now he is sailing in the larger seas, still holding the boat steady and taking care of everybody on the boat.
Miss you father.
Petri jr the skipper of AquilaDeux
