Description
Wooden Ships Comments on this Norwegian Sjekte
Built in 2002 by Adrian Morgan of Viking Boats in Ullapool, she is a replica of a boat called Jan, designed and built in America by Karsten Ausland in 1934. Jan was carvel planked but otherwise identical.
The design is that of a Norwegian Sjekte, a traditional Norwegian open fishing vessel, although the lines of this boat are sleeker and therefore faster than some of the working boats plus she has the modern, sleek fractional bermudan rig popular in the 1930’s when she was built. The original Jan was raced often in her home waters around New York and the story of her can be read in the following link:
www.viking-boats.com/Pdf/Jan-Story.pdf
Named after Adrian Morgans parents, Felicity John, competed in the 2003 Sail Caledonia winning the Loch Oich race and turning heads along the way, so much so that a sister ship was built for a new owner that same year. More information on these boats can be found on the builders web site:
http://www.viking-boats.com/page5.htm
The late owner purchased the boat with the intention of continuing her adventures but sadly was never able to fulfil those plans. The boat has remained covered on her trailer for the last couple of years, she is complete boat on a road trailer and ready to tow away.
