Tiny Scandinavian double ender….

[magic-martinh]

Hi all. I’m looking for the name of a rare Scandinavian 19.5 ft blue water double ender yacht. Anybody any ideas? Thanks

Kotter?

Nórdica 20

Tumlaren?

Tumlaren?

Gosh, but that's a 'pretty' boat.

Here is a link to Wansworth's Nordica -
SailboatData.com - NORDICA 20 Sailboat

In it they also mention the Halman 20, which is very similar -
SailboatData.com - NORDIC HALMAN 20 Sailboat

And a link to Michael's Tumlaren - very pretty indeed, but perhaps not ideal for marinas when you are paying for overall length in your fees.

Thanks,as always!……..I want one?

Yes but they are not 19.5 ft. There was a beauty for sale some years ago called "Tinkerbell" or "Schnapps" depending on where you looked. I was very, very tempted but sanity prevailed.

Here is a thread that was posted a year ago on the Boat Design Forum in the USA about the Halman 20 -
Nordic Halman 20

There are a few posted for sale on line, but they are in North America - here is a link to one of them (now sold), with some nice photos -

Maybe the “widows”are a bit big but nothing storm boards couldnt cure

Prompted by this I had a look at the Francis 26 and was really surprised at how constrained and limited it was certainly when compared to my old Vancouver 27. At the end of the day length matters and no matter how pretty they may be the above boats are very limited and I would venture to say uncomfortable.

Returning to my youth when cruising in my 15footer I would have died for 20 foot?

Kotter?

Thanks everyone. Great suggestions but not seen it yet. V skandy name (?) supposed to be true blue water boat. Long keel, canoe stern hung rudder. 1.5m head room I think. …. Keep the suggestions coming! Cheers Martin

Yeh I bet they could smell you several miles off as you entered the estuary. ? 15 to 20 footers are fine for day sailing people that like the spartan life and hair shirts that accompany it, times have moved on.

I found one for sale in Finland so they may be Finish. Not very beamy, small cockpit, looks like a round hatch between rudder stock and the cockpit. 70s or 80s

Yes there are other small boats very similar to theNordic 20 maybe slightly longer but the name escapes me

Storfidra would probably be too big.

Maybe some of Sven Urvind's Bris -constructions.
