Hva denne videoen dekker
Cecilia Ennals has sold her restored wooden boat Bris and replaced it with Nutta, a 7-metre cruiser built in 1959 at Holmen Joltverft in Asker, Norway.1:42 The boat had sat in a garden for 15 years without touching water, and at launch it was taking on some water — expected, given how dry the wood had become.1:42 Ennals worked a week to clean up the hull before the August launch. Rigging and sails are not yet fitted; the plan is to leave Nutta in the water through October so the hull swells and seals, then haul out, sand down, and complete a full restoration over winter.2:12 The goal is to have Nutta racing at Færder the following year.2:41 Nutta is considered a smaller sister to her father's 12-metre cruiser, both likely built at the same Asker yard using leftover materials.0:49 Bris sold within a week to a buyer in Kragerø, covering the cost of the new project without financial risk.2:43 Selling a well-restored wooden boat quickly enough to fund the next project is achievable, even if the labour invested is never fully recovered in the sale price.
