Drawings by Johan Anker of the Crown Prince of Norway,the photo shows Johan and Crown Prince Olaph walking in the snow.
This boat was presented to me as a possible restoration project,this came about due to the rebuild we did of Astra,a Tumlaren 27,by Knud Reimers,thats a much smaller boat but the lines are not disimilar,Noreine was designed by Johan Anker for the Crown Prince Olaf of Norway,and the Tumlaren was designed in Sweden,so not a very large distance across the border.
I owned Noreine for about 8 years and sold it to Myron. I would be very interested to hear more about the restoration of her. I also have an original copy of the Uffa Fox book in your article.
ReplyDeleteShe is a great boat with an awesome pedigree and deserves to be saved.
