"Ipsofact
has been built from 1980 till 1983 by the previous owner, his wife and father
in law, who was a skilled wood craftsman. This craftsmanship is still reflected
in some details of the wood-construction. He bought a set of drawings, and
a certification at the Van de Stadt design office. He built the ship in a
boat storage shed near “de Nieuwe Meer” lake in Amsterdam. The
boat is built from Bruijnzeel Occume plywood and bonded with Ciba-Geigy Resorcinol
resin (Aerodur) and stainless steel screws.
Ipsofact is a aggregation of Ipso and Facto which means in Latin “by
the fact itself”, or as explained by the builder; ”built
by myself”. The first time Ipsofact went into the water was summer 1983."
