Faering 600

General

• Remarks:

  The færing.
  The færing is a Norwegian wooden rowing boat that sometimes has a support sail (sprit gear). The boat type has been on the
  2016 on the UNESCO list of intangible heritage and is part of the Norwegian cultural heritage.

  The origin of the model certainly dates back to the 9th century. In the model you can
  you can still recognize the viking ship. The word færing contains the Norwegian word for "four": it has 4
  oars.

  There are also larger copies of the færing: the seksæring, åttæring and tiæring have 6, 8 and 10
  oars.
  The keel beam is usually made of oak, the strakes are made of pine and are attached to each other by rivets.

  The vessels are about 6 m long and constructed of 3, 4 or 5 strakes.
  They are still made in the fjords between Stavanger and Trondheim, each with its own characteristics.
  This færing was built from 2007 to 2011 on Wieringen based on the line plan of the Hardanger
  fartøyvernsenter, a maritime museum which is highly recommended and where many færings are still made annually.
  Furthermore, much information was gained during vacations (which from then on were also called 'study trips' by us) along various
  shipyards along the Norwegian coast. Among others: - Hardanger fartøyvernsenter in Norheimsund (www.fartoyvern.no).
  - In Os the Oselvarverkstaden(www.oselvarverkstaden .no).
  - Magne Fauskanger's workshop on the island of Tysnesøy.
  The wood was purchased from Houtzagerij & Houthandel 'De Zeewering' of Henk Zwering in Pingjum (no longer exists) and Houtzagerij Twickel (www.houtzagerijtwickel.nl).
  During construction, the advice of Kees Hos and Magne Fauskanger was very valuable.
  Because little suitable wood is available in the Netherlands, concessions were made.

  In Norway the trusses are made of
  In Norway, trusses are made of warps, wood that has grown crooked and is therefore much stronger than trusses that would have been sawn from a sheet of wood.

  Instead of warblers, the trusses of this færing are made of thinner strips of wood bent in a steam box and then glued together.
  The point pieces, the twisted first strakes, are hot-fired planks.

  This is a technique that was also used in the construction of Botters, Aachen and the Wieringer Skuutje.
  After the construction was completed, a book was published that would have been of great help if it had been published 10 years earlier.

  It was written by the ship's carpenter Peter Helland-Hansen of the Hardanger fartøyvernsenter in Norheimsund: 'Strandebarmaren, småbåtbygging | Hardanger'.

  The Faering is on a beautiful galvanized tilt trailer of the Dutch brand Damco.

  Complete with an eletromotor on 12 volt from Minn Kota with traction battery and trickle charger.

  Also a tarpaulin is not missing.
