[@greekninjahamster]

Will you ever release any plans so we can try and build something similar to those boats?

[@AlfredoArbe]

It wd be great since very little info on how these boats are built is avaliable for home builders. Anyways ... it seems in this case they are going to keep these knowledge for themselves ( no answer) May be some of us can contact builders to ask them to consider the possibility to produce DIY plan sets. I work with youngsters in my comunity providing traditional archery lessons, and its pretty awesome how these young lads, get rid off their cell phones ( for a coulpe of hours at least!) to inmerse in history and sport. So DIY plan sets , could be a great way to get people involved with sports sailing, and history, healthy and exiting activities, no to mention the sense of brotherhood that building process can create.

[@EeeebeeeE]

Beautiful and elegant boats. For square rigging, they cut into the wind very well. Seems to be a great "stitch and glue" boat. Curious, do you have the music to this video translated in English.

[@sackettandres9457]

Idk what it is in English but the song is sjørøvaren frå ådland which I think it is about a kid from adland who becomes a captain or something it is by rett vest

[@DragonFairhair]

@MrWansty It is a folk song group called Rett Vest. The song is based on a legend about a boy from Karmøy that became a pirate sometimes in the 16th Century. The legend claims that he is still guarding a treasure hidden somewhere on the beach. And sometimes when the sun sets in the sea, you can see the ship's red sails in the horizon.... Urd is the boat with yellow sail

[@shadow1961]

They sail remarkably close to the wind. I wonder how they would do with leeboards.

[@FedericoLucchi]

The keel is quite effective because of its length. I believe what stops them from sailing even closer is the sail shape.

[@crispinmiller7989]

@@FedericoLucchi I'm not so sure. I was given a traditional Norwegian boat to play with for an afternoon on Olso fjord, and it had that kind of hull shape but a modern spritsail rig. The sail did just fine, like any cat rig, and I could point the bow about as high as with a catboat, but my actual progress upwind was only at 25 or 30 degrees, and my wake directly behind had a very conspicuous sideways motion to it -- water on the surface shoved sideways by the leeway of the keel. Extra length in a fore-aft dimension doesn't offer the keel a purchase on any additional water, the way depth would -- it just pushes the same few inches of water farther sideways.

[@randycurtis1176]

​@@crispinmiller7989 I'm no sailor, not pretending to be. Are you suggesting a barn door leeboard would allow the vessel to sail even closer into the wind? BTW, my understanding of "close to the wind" means steering the boat as nearly directly as possible into the oncoming breeze. If so, the leeboard would help the road push against the water in order to push into the wind? I'm very curious about this. Also, something I've read somewhere suggested the wool sails of the Nordic boats filled with air, stretched and created an airfoil that did more for the boat than modern sail materials. Maybe that's not relevant. I do want one of these!

[@crispinmiller7989]

@@randycurtis1176 I do think a leeboard (or centerboard) would reduce leeway, so that your course could be closer to the wind. Joel White's somewhat Americanized faering design "Shearwater" does have a centerboard option for the sailing version, mounted a couple of inches off center so as not to cut the keel. However, you do have to bear in mind that the wind will be more able to tip the boat if your lateral resistance is deeper in the water. In "heavy air" (15-20 knot breezes) we were taught as dinghy sailors not to have the board very deep when we were going any direction that didn't really need it, i.e., any direction but working our way upwind. Your understanding of "close to the wind" is correct, with the caveat that it's rare for that to be closer than 45 degrees or so. Even if (as a thought experiment) you were to replace the leeboard with frictionless rails that allowed no sideslip at all, you run into "diminishing returns" when you try to point too high (called "pinching"). First of all, the lift from your sail (not upward, but sideways to the wind since your "wing" is vertical) is, at best, not quite right-angled to the wind (rather, a bit downwind) so as you point higher and pull the sail in more, that force becomes less forward and more sideways -- the component that propels you forward diminishes. And second, the higher you point, the more nearly the wind force on your rig and hull are working directly against you. When the forward component of your sail force drops to where the the rearward force from the wind cancels it out, you stop, except for plowing sideways. This means you also lose steering control, and to regain it you generally steer in reverse a bit, to turn yourself off the wind enough to start sailing again.

[@amc7988]

Que maravilla, velero de madera y agua, la conjunción mas hermosa. Quien los construye, donde se puede comprar uno?

[@RobbsHomemadeLife]

so beautiful. How do you reduce sail if you get a strong gust of wind? in a fore and aft boat like a sloop the mainsheet is released, can you easily reduce pressure on the square sail?

the question I have is, why the square sails? no sails survive but the art of the period shows sails that are wider than they are long; almost as wide as the ship is long. the Sigrid Storrada is the only replica longship, that I know of, to use a sail like this.

[@CrazyDavy22]

666devilknight because you can get more sail area with a taller sail. The art probably shows wide sails because they look wide when you are looking up at them.
