A self-built 43-foot ferro-cement sailboat named Martine changed hands for 5,000 Norwegian kroner after its original owner, Reidar, was quoted 230,000 kroner to legally scrap it.0:01 Reidar had built the boat himself using plans from a firm called Heartless and a detailed construction manual covering rebar binding, wire-pulling tools, and welding — work he did lying on a garage floor.0:20 Over the years maintenance demands grew, and a catastrophic engine failure left the motor submerged overnight, prompting Reidar to list the boat on Finn.no, starting at zero kroner.2:05 The new owner, Knut Roald, bought it specifically to restore it and lives nearby, which Reidar values as a way to stay connected to the boat's fate.3:00 Knut Roald's repair priority is the engine — either repair or replace it with a used unit — followed by identifying water ingress points, then cosmetic work.4:09 The hull is ferro-cement with prestressed construction; Knut Roald notes that concrete strengthens with age.6:19 The boat also sank once on a stake at seven meters depth, and Reidar used the resulting hole to reroute the 90-liter septic tank, creating a gravity-drain system requiring no pump.6:40
