No this is simply the most helpful video I’ve found when planning my viking inspired riverboat design

Quite educational, thanks for the well organized documentary. Answered many of my questions, some I didn't know I had!

Master Johnson (or should I say Johansen?), sharing your historical & technical seafaring knowledge via this video has been both fascinating & a rare privilege, Sir. What a wonderful project! May Njord keep you & your faering safe 🧜♂️

Capt Johnson. It was lovely to see your beautiful vessel. From the way you have described your various nautical adventures and experiences I thank you for sharing your visual experiences from your locations and your various sailing plans you have experimented with on your beautiful handcrafted longboat.. may gentle breeze’s and fair-winds, grace and caress your sails as you journey throughout your life and waterways. I also have had an opportunity of sailing small Scandinavian in their appearance, and designs of vessels that have been built from modern materials such as fibre glass and resins . I have come to realise and appreciate the basic construction of design of the first sailing vessels constructed from wood and animal skins.

Great boat and great video! I've never been to northern Europe, but i live on a fjord in Alaska. The winds are either blowing up the fjord or down the fjord, so it makes sense to me that the Norse would row upwind, sail downwind, and leave the reaching and beating to non-fjord-dwelling civilizations. I started building an Oughtred Elfyn, I need to get it finished...

That is so nice.. I can just see this boat in the Santee swamp . May have to get me a template

Sailing simplicity was critical as survival demanded everyone needed to be fairly capable of handling the boats... sickness, disease, short life spans and war could easily remove more experienced individuals from small settlements. 👣🕊👽

Very nice job doing this video! FYI, both of my parents families came from Norway. I have been living in Minnesota since 1978 when I moved here from California. I was born on a naval Air station in Washington State, which I think is interesting in that my mother's family comes from Trondheim, Norway. That City was created more than a thousand years ago and 997, during the Viking age. It had its 1000th anniversary in 1997. My father's family originates in the Balestrand or Fjearland fjord area. Again, I'm very grateful for your video and find it very interesting. I have a sense that I would have done something like this had my circumstance been different growing up. Sometime I make contact you privately to exchange stories and genealogy. Tusen Takk.

Awesome video! It's hard to imagine the level of intent that not only research and build the boat, but accomodated the experimentation with the performance and comfort alterations. Seems that most of the faering replicas have been made with raised thwarts and tholes (oarloocks) and other items. Doesnt this effectively raise the CG of the vessel and question any conclusions on the original's range and performance... especially to weather, as a dingy sailor would be sitting on the floor to windward.

Great information here, Thank You. I built Iain Oughtred's Elfyn Faering over the winter of 2021. I am in my second season of enjoying this wonderful design and have come many of the same conclusions as you. I built mine specifically for fishing the rivers and near coastal areas of Oregon, have been out in 3' seas 8 seconds apart and she handles them wonderfully. I am needing to replace my kabes, the oak I used is beginning to crack, what did you use? It looks like purple heart in the video.

Oh but it does. max 5 HP but it helps alot going against the wind. But its really faster to row going with it Ht me up if you want to AirBNB it, the name of the place is Leknessund, Solund. Life vests are compulsory, the big north sea is straight in from the west so choose your time to go boating!

Being the family SUV... seating was likely bundles of firs which would be used for camping, the low free board was also efficient for loading and off loading, especially of livestock, another reason for the low initial stability... Vikings ponies could leap into battle directly from the ship a shock and awe technique often used during raids. 👣🕊👽

I think the Vikings figured out a way to "tan" white oar. So as to make it tougher to split or brake. Any thoughts?

What planks were used? Traditional craft were made using split planks, made by splitting the log with axes and wedges, rather than sawing the planks. They are lighter and far more flexible, but take long to make and require more skill. Your boat looks to be made of modern, sawed planks

Also, my experience with Viking age ships n fearing is that they tend to have quite large squares sails. A 7,7 meter long boat has a 10 sqm sail
