The faering was bought by my grand dad in the early 1970’s. When he passed away I inherited it. It’s in good shape, but is currently stored in the barn, to make room in the boathouse for an Oselvar sixoaren. In the boathouse is also an eightoaren owned by my father.

The sixoaren is a pice of art with a interesting history.

That is great. How about a photo?

I actually own a faering built by Johan Sletteskog. It has three strakes and is 4,95 meters long, inside between the stem and stern at the sheer. It’s rigged whith a sprit sail and also have detachable motor bracket for a 4 hp outboard

I’ve been milling my own wood for a boat too. That boat looks like it would go to Valhalla and back again

It probably would sail better if you had a centerboard or even a lee board. I enjoyed the article very much.
