Dragon Harald Fairhair - A glimpse from the shipyard
Loading...
Uploaded by DragonFairhair on Aug 29, 2011
Dragon Harald Fairhair is the largest Viking ship built in modern times. The Dragon is coming together in Western Norway. Since we rarely allow visitors inside the shipyard, we now invite you to get a glimpse of what is going on during construction. A normal working day in May 2011....

@Borgeviking Hvis du ikke allerede har finni nettsia dems: "dno(dått)vikingkings(dått)com
" Der har du det som trengs av info:)
Men den blir ca 35m lang og ca 8m bred, deplasement blir ca 70 tonn. Skipet bygges i eik, og det får et 300 kvm stort segl av silke.
Moro:)
Pluss at båten får et tøft utskjært hode og en hale. Etter hva jeg har forstått skal det gjøres av Treskjerarverkstaden på Dovre.

@slakx Sounds like Highland Bagpipes...and otherwise celtic sound of the music. They should have been using Nordic Bagpipes and a more norse sounding sound.

Flott at noen vil bruke penger på et slikt prosjekt!
Fakta.; lengde, bredde, seilareal, ballast, årehull etc etc???
-
Great video.. But please, BAGPIPES?? Horrible

What a fabulous project. So much better to spend time, effort and money on boat building than wasting time in front of the almighty telly.
I hope you are documenting this project with infinite care.
All the best

Its a very nice ship. But sadly its boards are too thick perhaps. These ships might have kited and then weight or thick boars would have been less preffered. Stories from saga indicated that they sail not so well in sidewins anyway and that because of this they sailed often where the wind took them- rowing when needed.

No, the boards of Dragon Harald Fairhair are not too thick. They are max 5 to 6 cm thick. This would have been standard on such a large ship. For example; the Storhaug ship (buried by the strait Karmsund in 779), had 6 cm thick boards. The Storhaug ship was also an ocean-going vessels constructed to withstand rough seas. Alas, there is little info about the Storhaug ship in English.
