A delightful example of Scandinavian boatbuilding at its most honest and refined, this 1965 launch, built by K. Dolbjørnsvik of Arendal, Norway, offers the chance to acquire a truly characterful traditional craft with both provenance and practicality.
Elegant in her simplicity, she carries the unmistakable hallmarks of Nordic design, clean lines, a purposeful sheer, and a beautifully proportioned hull that sits comfortably both at rest and underway. Her clinker-style construction and varnished internal joinery create a warm, authentic feel, perfectly suited to leisurely river cruising or coastal exploration.
This is a boat that has not only stood the test of time but has also played her part in more recent history, having taken part in the 2021 Diamond Jubilee celebrations.
The open layout offers flexibility and ease of use, whether for relaxed family outings, picnics on the river, or gentle pottering along quieter waterways. There is a refreshing honesty to her, no pretence, just a well-built, good-looking boat that does exactly what it should.
For those seeking an entry into classic boat ownership, or a manageable and rewarding project with excellent foundations, she represents strong value. Equally, for the enthusiast, she offers a wonderful canvas to personalise and elevate further.
At Henley Sales and Charter, we see many boats, but few combine heritage, usability and charm quite so effortlessly.
A lovely example of Scandinavian craftsmanship, ready to be enjoyed and cared for into her next chapter.
