Torlieve,

What an absolute beauty!

How old is the hull and who designed it?

It is built in 1954. I dont know who designed it, but the design is from the western part of Norway.
Unfortunately i was not able to buy the boat since it was a bit to long to fit into my section of the pier... but i keep looking for the perfect wooden boat for me..
