Wiking boat

[Henning 4148]

Looking for plans / information on Wiking boats - not full size, but look alike of approx. 18 ... 23 feet.

Any ideas?

Planning some raping and pillaging excoursions? :)

[Henning 4148]

Yes!

Gotta love phonetics ;)

Those guys just to the north of you should be able to help.

Well his English is much better than my German, so here's what I can come up with:

First, are you looking for a historical replica type of build, or modern plans for modern materials like marine plywood?

Second, are you looking to build a fullscale / full-size boat, or just looking for info for model building (or dreaming)?

Third, some of the faering-influenced boats designed by Iain Oughtred may fit your bill, depending on the first question above. His Caledonia Yawl might work for the larger size.

Hi Henning

All the info you'll need, plans maybe a little harder.

Oh by the way.. Hi to all of you.

Hello Sand. Nice first post - thanks for that.

Henning - not Viking boats per-se, but perhaps descendants? All beautiful boats and the lines are for sale! http://www.batritningar.se/default.aspx?Language=SE&Currency=SEK&Page=Startpage

Wiking boats - http://www.wikingboats.no/4.html
Their Combi 900 is just about the requested length.
But maybe not what you are looking for?

(btw - viking / wiking is pronounced the same. Single v or double v, same sound... not like double u. So much for phonetics. Wiking is an accepted alternative spelling, too.)

Thanks!

What I'm looking for is a smallish version of a long boat, complete with horse head, square sail shields and all ...

Some excellent stuff there that I will follow up.
