    Thank you! That first pic is a feast for the eyes.

      Fredostli, what is the transverse wooden thing going over the side about 6 feet infront of the cabin door? Bilge pump sluice?

      And what are all the boxes for, Viking gold?

      That looks like such a great cabin, and I love the inverse clinker 'roofing'.

        I dont know, about that transverse thing, but I will ask about it if I get to join in a sailing trip with it. I let you know :-) (Sorry about the photos been a bit blurry. Guess there is too much sawdust and glue on my mobile phone lens.

        Viking gold is the most practical ballast, so yes. We are not obsessed with "bling" so its only for stability and safety... a must!

        I hope to share more photos of Nordlændingen later :-)

          Looks like it.
          Fantastic boats!

                Not familiar with the term stand off, but maybe something like this photo. Just a screenshot from a pdf dokument from the course. In one month I will join a regatta with traditional boats. I promise you more photos then �� Hæringen is gaff rigged. Gaff-rig (Called sneseil on these) was used a few decades on Nordlandsboats before the motor took over. Hæringen was first rigged with a square sail.

                  A wonderful photo, thanks. I'm going to research the boat type, I think it's very interesting.

                    After sailing with Hæringen this summer, I will be allowed to be "Høvedsmann" (captain) and take her out by myself, as a member of the federation. These boats have their orign in the Northern part of Norway. The most beautiful boats belong in the most beautiful part of the coast.

                    Martin; if you ever arrive in this area some day, I gladly let you research this boat closely, and maybe even get a chance to sail with Hæringen.

                      I was lucky the federation have some "bark-soup" for me to "bark" the sail on my nordlandsboat. This is for preserving the sails. It is birch bark boiled in salt water. It will give the sails the red/brown stain, and most important keep them from rot and molds. It will lay in this tub two days, and then hung up to dry. Stones to keep it down.

                      The barn is now crowded with faerings and other small boats.

                        Now there's an offer not to be missed! Thanks so much. There's something that really speaks to me about traditional Norwegian boats, perhaps why I have one from the Shetland Isles.

                        Please keep posting!

                            I harvested some Birch bark, to give back to the federation after using their bark soup for my sails this is what gives the rusty color on the sails on this traditional boats

                              Yesterday we where sailing with some kids from an activity club in Bodø. One of the parents posted this photo of Hæringen. Not the best quality resolution, but a nice profile picture.
