What this video covers

Cecilia Ennals recently acquired and launched "Nutta," a 7-meter wooden cruiser built in 1959 at Holmen Yachtverft in Asker, Norway.0:49 The vessel had remained in storage for 15 years before its recent relaunch.0:13 Ennals purchased the boat spontaneously after selling her previous project boat, "Bris," which she sold within one week.1:17 Although the hull currently takes on water—a condition expected after such a long period on land—the boat remains structurally sound.0:20 The restoration plan involves keeping the vessel in the water for one month to allow the wood to swell before hauling it out in October for a complete sanding and refinishing process.2:17 While the rig and motor are not currently installed, Ennals intends to complete the restoration in time to participate in the Færder regatta next year.2:37 The project represents a transition to a larger vessel, following the successful refurbishment and sale of her previous boat.
