TORBORG - Wooden hull 1:20

The
“Torborg” is a classical Norwegian rowing and sailing boat. This type
of vessel is widely known in Norway and was used for many purposes.

The
original boat, dating from 1870, is owned by the Stavanger maritime
Museum. This type of boat was used as a pilot boat. It could be rigged
quickly, so that it could be quickly dispatched to the waiting ship.
There was great competition among boats wanting to guide ships into the
Norwegian fjords. To be competitive, manoeuvrable and speedy boats,
equipped with both sails and 2-3 sets of oars, were a necessity. Plank-on-Frame.
