I “picked up THAT Clinker BUG” as a kid now just about 70 yrs ago when I saw a then NEW brand new Clinker built Nordic Folkboat from my old canoe on the river. Then almost 60 yrs later when I retired and worked the last 10+ yrs to fully re-store a Classic Mahogany Clear Varnished Clinker Boat built in 1964 by a very competent Boat-builder, YET by now I am too old to sail it! Despite advertising it looks that I have to ” give it away” since “dreams don’t make me any younger!” Clinker Lovers “where RRR UU?”

How about that tiller comb at 15:20? Thanks for this. I visited Norway last year and was amazed at the constant postcard beauty with every turn of my head.
