Halfmodel of a Knarr

Really nice work. Like the use of wood. Now you can build a real one.

Nice work Jens. I like the combination of woods, too.

Dude! You beat me to the punch. I was going to make a half hull of a Robert Perry boat, probably a Valiant 40. I really like the idea of a contrasting wood for the waterline. Did you use buttocks from a drawing to cut it out of several layers, then fair it?

Very nicely made and finished.

Looks great well done,how about a couple dozen more projects?

-- Jim from Heirloom Woodshop Southern Oregon

CaptainSkully: I had the table of offsets, I then lofted the whole boat in 1:19 with waterlines, buttocks, battens, diagonals etc. I then transfered all the waterlines to a transparent paper and marked them on a board with an awl. Then it was “just” some glueing and shaping.

Yeah, I like it! Is that a mock up for the real deal?

Beautifully done Jens. Isn’t a knarr a working boat?

-- Mike, American in Norway

don’t know what a knarr is, but it’s really kneat
really though that’s pretty work

-- Ron, Missouri

An original knarr is a viking trading boat, a modern knarr is a sailboat.

What amazes me is the Vikings sailing the open sea in small open boats all the way to Canada!!
