FLEKKERØY's Voyage

摘要

When I purchased the Norwegian gaff-rigged pilot cutter FLEKKERØY in 2005, she was a little worn out and lonesome. Named for the island from which she originally worked, and built in Norway in 1936, she had been lying for sale for a year or so. Despite her appearance, she seemed sound. Back then, I did not have extended cruising in mind, but I did see in her the potential of getting a good, rugged, and seaworthy boat. Planning to cruise her around Scandinavia, I decided to buy and refit her.
