\"Tromso-Norway-363\"<\/p>\n

We’ve moved Wind Horse<\/em> a short distance across the harbor to where we are not so much on display. This makes our outboard topside eligible for rafters, which we usually enjoy. Especially when it is a 1927 vintage converted Norwegian fishing boat.<\/p>\n

\"Tromso-Norway-375\"<\/p>\n

This forty foot vessel is powered by a GM 4-71 diesel. Her original engine was just replaced after 60,000 hours! She cruises at eight knots for 10 liters (2.6 gallons) per hour. The hull is plank on frame, originally of oak. Planks are two inches thick (50mm). The sailing rig was added during her conversion from fishing boat to yacht.<\/p>\n

\"Tromso-Norway-376\"<\/p>\n

This double vertical stack of ball fenders is a first for us. A great idea for when you are against commercial docks with truck fenders running down the pilings.<\/p>\n

\"Tromso-Norway-326\"<\/p>\n

Like almost all the fishing boats of Norway she is a double ender.<\/p>\n

\"Tromso-Norway-366\"<\/p>\n

And like most of the work boats here she has a Hundested controllable pitch prop. When we get a free minute we will write some notes on the advantages and negatives of these (we has one on Beowulf<\/em>).<\/p>\n
