Wooden boat for sale (in Norway)
|
Myles Twete
A 3rd cousin of mine owned/refurbished and may have originally built this wooden cruising boat that’s now for sale in Stavanger, Norway. His widow is selling the boat---cancer sucks. L
Interesting how in Norway it’s common to have the boat bottoms unpainted (probably varnished?) while topsides are often painted. We even saw very large metal fishing boats with at least wooden cladding up front and underwater. I’m not sure why.

Probably ice sheathing.

https://www.woodenboat.com/snekke https://flic.kr/p/dHZHnc Unpainted boat bottoms? Must be too cold for shipworms, barnacles, and other fouling. I'll bet they use a mixture of oil and pine tar on 'em, like they use on the topsides of a lot of Scandinavian boats. BTW, a literal translation of "snekke" is "worm". There must be something lost in translation, as they say...

And that article your posted referred to the hulls being treated typically with Linseed Oil...which I think it's time to do to our deck...
