Cheers for showing your trip! My father-in-law has a havsfidra 20, which Im planning on freshen up, so I can sail it between Norway and Denmark in the summer time :) Maybe its a thing that will happen in spring 2026, but before that, I dream of sailing around in the norwegian south east coast in late summer 2025 :) Anyhow, want to watch more of your videos, this was the first that I saw, and I'm looking forward to follow your story! kind regards

Great, thank you. I have not been using it enough but hope to do so this summer. The engine is giving me some troubles, overheating, so I will have to solve that problem...

That’s a great looking little boat. At first, it reminded me a bit of the Nordic Halman 20 I owned years ago, but the Havsfidra is clearly a much prettier and more rugged boat. Would love to see how she is coming along now that she is once again in caring hands. That pretend “ wood” interior definitely needed to go! Great video and adventure!

Hi Gil, been watching your radio exploits for a while now and just found your "new" channels! Sailing isn't really my bag but I subscribed anyway. Whatever floats your boat my friend (sorry couldn't resist!), life's too short so good on you for chasing your dreams. All the best, 73's and stay safe on the high seas!

@@svragnar7790 Thanks for your reply. Did you see my post on your site in the Discussion section? I bought a Nordica 20 & thought that you might be documenting your refit - my boat is a cousin of the Hvstrida - there must be a lot of Havstrida, Nordica & Halman owners with boats of this vintage. I hope sharing info & experiences would be interesting to quite a few owners. Might you be willing to do that. Adrian

Gil.... just catching up on these videos and adventures with the new boat! Glad you pointed me here from your radio prepper channel! This will be fun! My dad retired to a boat and sailed from MA, USA to Trinidad and Tobago and lived there on his boat for many years. I learned just how harsh the elements are on a boat and that they need constant love and attention. Looking forward to your adventures!
