You all may already know about my passion for aluminium boats in general and for the stylish, modern yet elegant and timeless lines of the Berckemeyer Yachts in particular. As a matter of fact during the day the owner of this marvellous yacht also arrived and I shook hands for the first time with Matthias Schernikau.
This is how I met him for the first time. Some E-Mails and a phone conversation later Matthias was enthused to invite me to his company compound: I wanted to know about the upcoming steps for the BM49 sailing yacht.
When I arrived, I was simply stunned β¦. Matthias Schernikau is the founder and CEO of a medium sized enterprise. He is developing and building elevators and elevator systems.
Not just the size, but also the cleanliness of the huge workshop halls, the light suffused wooden accentuated workplaces. Everything was huge here, very impressive. I was speechless. Matthias, with his welcoming, very open kind was instantaneously conquering my heart as openly showed me around. And then, there, almost hidden behind huge high rise stacks on a massive metal stand, I saw her. Almost majestically floating in the sky, high above my head β the adorably sharp shaped hull of the BM I stayed under the boat.

The hull was shining in a silverish blaze as the sun was setting outside and her orange and red-turning light was flooding the huge workshop halls through the big panoramic windows.
