Additional Information:

Norse was built in the famous yorkshire yard, Stanilands of Thorn in 1976. She is Iroko hull 4" planks on 2.5" oak frames at 15cms centres, splined topsides. Hull condition is excellent, this is not an old rotton wooden boat. The condition of the hull is brilliant, there is only two small areas of soft wood around chain plates, which are a quick and easy fix. This boat looks very much like a traditional scottish working boat, almost identical to Miller Fife, except Norse is much more massively built. She has been built to commercial white fish standards, the pictures that I have included show her originally and as she is now. I have also included a picture of a blue hulled converted fishing boat to show how she could be easily be converted to a liveaboard and how she could look. Although all the wheel house has been removed, which might seem a bit drastic but the wheel house was put on afterwards of very heavy Iroko and had was deteriorated with rot so needed to go. I have a couple of wooden boat projects on at the moment and unfortunately Norse is one too many, even though she could be easily be put back in the water I would estimate to reinstate the wheel house 4-5 weeks work. So in conclusion Norse is a fantastically good hull, externally ballasted and some internal ballast, she would make a great working boat with a flush deck and wheel house, which was my plan or with full superstructure a spacious an attractive live aboard or converted back to a motor sailor. Note there is no engine, this boat comes with hull,deck and some of the superstructure along with fuel tanks, fore deck, walk around deck, cock pit combing, downstairs floor still instated , two forward berths, bow thruster. She is a very interesting project and probably one of the prettiest boats with her traditional scottish lines that you could find . A very high skill level of shipwrighting to build these very tight curvatures in planks as thick as they are. To have a hull built of this quality if you would be lucky enough to find the skill set now would be in excess of £100k. The reason I am only asking the ridiculous price of £1000 or ONO is because I am very interested in this boat being back where she belongs in the sea, inshore or off shore.
