August Westin (1845-1920) was leading ship constructor of Åbo Båtvarf boatyard.
Between 1889 and 1909, 100 of the 118 boats ordered by members of the Airisto Segelsällskap were his handiwork. In 1909, when a reporter from Frisk Bris asked Westin how many boats he had designed, he could not answer the question - the editor's estimate was more than 400.
Åbo Båtvarf: Between 1889 and 1954, the Ruissalo Boatyard, then Åbo Båtvarf, was the largest boatyard in the Nordic countries.
The company was taken over by Fiskars in the 1960s, but did not succeed in the transition to plastic boat production and closed down in the 1970s.
Designed by August Westin the 28-valor yacht Magdalen, built for Baron M. Verstraet in St. Petersbourg - the largest pleasure yacht yet built in Finland.
