Do I want to fail at a large or small boat attempt?

I use a 2:1 epoxy system much like this one: amzn.to/3Rqg65q
So there’s like four variables here.
First is these boats are built in different sizes from a backyard two person faering to a let’s raid america’s coasts longship.
Second is that there are regional differences. At a first glance they may look alike, but the height, width, building methods, plank layout and materials all reflect the specific fjord that a boat originates from. These will be functional too. Like a lower front end works for rowing against the wind in inland fjords, and a higher front will work sailing on coastal waters.
Third is the period you’re talking about. A a certain point the side rudder was replaced by a back rudder, and later still linen sails were replaced by cotton. For every local boat tradition there are older and newer models. Sometimes the model was changed because the type of fishing changed, or just because it did.
And as you can see in the picture of the famous viking ship the Gokstad ship, the small Gokstad ship, and the replica of the Halsnoyboat, dating back to 200 after nil and sporting this awesome sewn construction you can see that not much really has changed.
Fourth is the interior. There are a few different ways to place the benches in the boat depending on whether you normally transported fish or humans.
The sizes. You can just divide them in number of rowing stations.
2 : faering or tororing. It’s mainly for rowing and too small for my family for sure.
2.5 : a melfaering or hunderomsfaering adds a little length and an extra middle room
3: treroring, or sexaering. This is about 19 or 20 foot. From this size on, sailing is primary, and rowing is what you do when sailing is not possible. 3 and a half: halvfjerderomming
4: åttring or firroring
5 or bigger.
We settled for a 3, treröring size, 20 foot. A larger boat is also safer on bigger water, which was a concern for me. I grew up around sheltered lakes, but the water we have close now are coastal inlets with big waves and high wind. On the other hand I want to transport the boat on a trailer, so too large was also impossible.
There was one boat in particular that inspired me most, the so called Misvaerattring, that’s a size four. The Misvaer region boats fall under the larger umbrella of Nordlandsboats, with their long hulls and square sails that I like so much. I like to think that a boat builder from early 1800’s from that region could have designed our treroring.
For the interior! Traditional interior means rowing benches, removable ones, and possible U-benches in the back and sometimes also front. In our final design we combined all of these variations in a treröring size boat with U-benches front and back, a hunderom in the middle and with the back bench omitted.
So that’s it, I changed some stuff, blasphemy! But then again vikings were maybe less concerned with a safe place to put the wine bottle.

    😜👍 ‘X-rated boat pictures’ 😂🤣……you’re right though, from a boatbuilding / historical point of view…..they’re pretty damned sexy🥹👍. I’ve got 2 roto-moulded plastic kayaks & a 4.5m aluminium power boat with a 60hp engine. I admire your balls on this project😀👍

    I built a boat with a similar shape as a rowing canoe for beach camping. I used the plans "Big Guide" by FloMo.
