I've never seen a video of the sails being set like this. Tied an pegged onto the boat. It's amazing! Thanks for showing this!

I think it's the first time I ever saw a "Viking ship" come about. Very surprised at how close to the wind a rig like that can sail. Expert teamwork certainly contributed to the performance. Thanks for an excellent video.

with all those rocks onboard, I wouldn't like to see a wave coming over the side.What a spot to be sailing though.

This is how these boats were equipped traditionally by the fishermen. These boats are amazing in rough seas, hardly any waves get inside. But should one of them capsize, the stones were supposed to roll out and the wooden hull would float and function as a primitive life raft for the crew.

one of the reasons the vikings were so successful were there ships ,by the underwater profile I would say that alone was high in advance off there time .ive always felt the sail were very efficiant and could point to windward far than we give them credit for, haddone a lot of sailing with lug sail a bit more modern variant where the sail is attached to the stem and creates a lifting sail ,capable off 45 % to windward ,cornish luggers ,were still in use up to ww2 though many had been fitted with engines by then. be interested to know how far to windward these Nordic longships could do
