Presentation of the ship
Solveig is a sailing boat, 13.2 meter long, 4.17 meter wide, 1.80 deep, around 20 meter tall and 14 tonn displacement. SUP board, bikes, toys, books, etc on board.
It's sort of a wooden boat, but glued together with epoxy. It also has an outer skin of glass fiber under the water line (it's important in Oslo, to protect the wood against sea ice).
