Part 1: Jan-Erik Viitala on Cabins, Modularity, Gen Sets & Air Conditioning

Jan-Erik Viitala is the co-founder of Axopar, a brand that has taken the world by story due to its more practical approach to boat building, modularity, commuter cabins and its more reasonable pricing. Jan-Erik is from Finland and brings to boating a more austere approach to boat construction with an emphasis on simplicity, functionality and affordability. Note that when he is talking about air conditioning temperatures, remember he is using Celsius, not Fahrenheit. 8 degrees C equals 13.33 F.
