After about four months or so, Nord Vinden was ready for sea trials and from there on she has given me the greatest of pleasure every time I went sailing, whether there was no wind, little wind or a blustering wind. In addition, she rows well and sculling is a joy. The particulars of the boat are as follows:LOA 13'-0" Her construction is of 6mm sapele mahogany plywood and epoxy coated. The Hull is painted green above the waterline and darker green for antifouling. The inboard of the boat is epoxy coated and varnished. The deck is laid up strip with a covering board along the gunnel all made from a Brazilian wood called Santa Maria, a pale light color. Most attractive. The mast and spars are of Sitka Spruce and the sails were made by Sail Rite. The center board is manufactured by Springfield Fan Centerboard Co. and consists of five brass plates folding within each other from 7 1/2" to 18". A word about the trailer. Last Spring I checked on the wheel bearings and spindles and found them totally worn out on both wheels. Hence I have replaced the whole wheel assembly including a new axle. The boat is in good shape but could stand a little of the usual Spring touch-ups. The price I am asking for Nord Vinden and trailer is $8,900. I would like to hold to the price. However I will consider a reasonable offer. Harry W. Broady | ||
