Photo by Silje L. Bakke One of the inspirations of my little Skerry was the Norse Faerings. The word Faering refers to the four oar stations. It merely means a boat with 4 oars. In the same way a treroring has 3 rowing in the boat.There are also larger and smaller row boats in the same tradition.
Different areas have variations of faerings, but they all have 4 oars in common.
A faering is a clinker (lapstrake) type boat which is pointed at both end, with no transom. The strakes, which are often cedar, pine, spruce, or larch or other similar wood, are attached to a backbone which is composed of a curved stem and stern which attach to the keel. The backbone is often white oak or other strong rot resistant wood. The overlapping strakes were held together with rivets. In most cases the rivets were iron with washers. In some cases there were no washers and the rivet/nail was trimmed and hammered till it formed a j and the point embedded itself back in the strake. The boat is built and the strakes are laid then the ribs are added. Modern boats usually use copper rivets and washers.
Faerings have ribs which were made from curved planks often a side branch would be kept on the stem and this shaped to make ribs. The side boards or strakes were traditionally made from solid wood. Spruce or pine are common as is larch (tamarack). More rare are oak strakes. If boards were too short they were scarfed and the scarf fastened with rivets. The stem, stern, and keel were preferably made of a harder wood often Oak. Many different types of wood are used depending on what is available in the area.
Vikingship.com has a nice article on Faerings with lots of photos. It's well worth visiting the site.
New faering on it's maiden voyage. It gives a good idea of how the boat feel in the water. Here is the address in case it does not show up. youtube video
There is a fabulous wooden boat forum thread on building an Oselvar. This is boat porn at it's very best. He is using traditional materials and methods. The result is very lovely.
Although solid wood is the traditional way of building faerings, modern designers have successfully used marine plywood. Ian Oughtred's Elf is a faering designed for plywood. In this example the Elf faering has been adapted back to solid wood construction.
In the beginning the strakes were made from wood that was split rather than cut, then when sawmills were built around the 1600 the strakes were cut.
Oselvar are found on the west coast of Norway. They are often fitted with 2 sets of oars so can be called faerings.They are popular boats and are raced.
The Oselvar is a candidate for the first kit ever built and sold. From the 1500 to half way in the 1800s these boats kits were exported to the Shetlands and Orkney's. (These island were lacking large trees and could not produce the lumber needed to make boats at home.) Once safely delivered they were assembled. and finished. It has a long history as a work boat, but also has been used as a pleasure boat for several generations.
Faerings were the everyday work boat in Scandinavia and were used to transport people in a land with many island and fewer roads. They were also used for fishing and moving stuff around. Now there are several organizations racing traditional boats.
The beautiful lines of the faerings have inspired designers to adapt the design for more modern boat building methods. If you are interested look up Iain Oughtred.
Faerings are often fitted with sailing rigs. Sprit rigs are commonly used as are other square sails. When a faering is intended to be sailed a rudder is fitted. The push pull type of rudder is the traditional choice of old time boat builders. It takes a bit of getting used t but has the advantage of leaving the back free and uncluttered.
Faerings, like other boats pointy at both ends, can handle rough water. The narrow ends don't fill up with water when there is a breaking following sea.

Product Description
A serious rowing and sailing boat for coastal cruising, with a small cabin aft. It is a functional boat combining modern building methods with a traditional stylish clinker hull shape.
Faerings are the indigenous smallcraft of Scandinavia, direct descendants of the Viking ships that raided and traded throughout Europe starting more than a thousand years ago. Light but strongly built, the distinctive double-ended hulls feature a sweeping sheer-line, lapstrake planking and a narrow waterline for speed under oars and sail.
The traditional faerings were, like the Viking ships, built by fastening overlapping lapstrake planks together with rivets and then adding internal frames for strength. This Nordic boatbuilding method produced lighter boats than the more common method of building a frame and then covering it with planking. The elegant hull shape of the Norwegian faering adapts well to the modern stitch-and-glue method, in which pre-fabricated plywood panels are joined at their edges to create a light and stiff hull with minimal framing.
Boat designer John Harris created a 19′8″ stitch-and-glue faering for beach cruising with one or two sliding-seat rowers. Four of them have been built, but unfortunately there hasn't been time to create the elaborate instruction manual that would make construction accessible to amateurs. However, John used it as the basis for the Faering Cruiser, a longer boat with a small cabin and a sailing rig but still with enough space amidships for a sliding seat rowing rig.
The hull, cockpit and interior framing is mostly 9 mm Okoume plywood and the decks are 6 mm Okoume plywood. With the pre-cut panels in the kit, assembly is very quick. CLC's LapStitch process yields a hull that is stiff, light, beautiful and quick to build.
While 22′6″ of overall length sounds big, this is actually a fairly compact camp-cruiser, weighing only about 650 lb on the trailer. It tows effortlessly behind small cars.
The cabin is comfortable, if cosy; similar to sleeping in a good one-man tent. The advantages over an open boat are that your gear and bedding stay dry no matter what the weather's doing, the sealed compartment provides a great deal more safety in a capsize and you have lockable stowage.
Several rig options were considered before settling on a single balanced lug sail. The sail area is modest, but the hull is very easily driven. The boat is fast, jumping up to 6 knots in 12 knots of wind. 270 lb of water ballast beneath the self-bailing cockpit floor settles the boat right down, though a reef is needed once whitecaps appear unless you're trying to win a race. The pivoting centreboard allows nice balance and excellent upwind ability. The rudder is connected to the tiller with stainless steel cables that run through baffled vents in the cabin (no leaks to worry about). Flipping the tiller up locks the rudder on the centre line for rowing.
With a sliding seat and long sculls, a rower of modest strength and ability can move the boat upwind easily enough, although you're likely to be sailing if there's a long way to go to windward. In a flat calm, it's easy to imagine a 25-mile day under oars alone. We might consider eliminating the sliding-seat option and using shorter oars with a fixed seat. Speed would suffer a little, but there would be no need to stow a sliding seat and oar storage would be improved. Lazy jacks lift the furled boom and yard to clear the cockpit for rowing. A tabernacle scheme for lowering the mast is suggested, but it's fairly complex and will add weight.
As a coastal cruiser, this design offers many advantages: a dry berth, lots of storage and excellent speed under sail and oars. We suspect that many builders would be moving up to this design from kayaks or small rowing boats, seeking more comfort and stowage while maintaining a small footprint on the coastal trail.
The hull kit includes:
- Pre-cut wooden hull panels with pre-cut puzzle joints and pre-drilled tie holes
- Rudder, centreboard and centreboard case
- Solid timber stock for rails, stringers and cleats
- Epoxy resin and activator
- Epoxy fillers
- Copper ties
- Woven glass fabric
- Woven glass tape
- Plans suitable for experienced builders
- Free technical support from a competent builder
Hardware, rowlocks, sliding seat hardware, spars, sail and rigging are not included in this base kit package. This boat is designed for use with a sliding seat, the parts for which are not included in the kit.
What else do I need?
While the kit will go together quickly for someone who can read plans and has some experience building larger-scale wood-epoxy composite boats, this is not a project for first-time boatbuilders.
This kit weighs a lot and requires a specialised courier. The price of delivery will vary with your address. You are, of course, very welcome to collect the kit from our Lake District workshop.
Plans (not required by kit purchasers)
The plans contain sufficient information to build the boat from scratch rather than a kit. Despite the stitch-and-glue construction method, the Faering Cruiser is not for first-time boat-builders. Professionals and experienced amateurs will find it a fast and straightforward build, but you'll need to have good plans-reading ability and a couple of wood-epoxy composite boats under your belt before diving in.
The plans include 17 pages of architectural drawings and full-size templates for every part in the boat except the hull planking and decks. There are pages devoted to the rigging of the tiller, hatches and other peculiarities of the design.
PDF study plans
An 8-page set of study plans in PDF format that can be viewed using Adobe Reader. After credit card authorisation the file will be sent to the email address put on the order form. Nearly all details are shown, providing a good overview of the boat and it's construction.
These study plans are intended for pre-build study or to help with the decision to purchase. It is not possible to build the boat from scratch using only these plans.

Faering cruiser.
2 comments:
Hi Bill, the Faering is a lovely boat indeed. John Welsford has a new design, slightly shorter 18', called Long Steps. Thought I would post a link in case you had not come across her yet. Design and build are just beginning, and John blogged about her here. http://jwboatdesigns.blogspot.co.nz/2015/10/the-new-boat-design-and-first-piece-of.html I think she is very well resolved indeed. Elements of Scamp and Walkabout combined in a larger boat for coastal cruising. I could so see her moored on the sea wall by the River Wardens office at Keyhaven, all ready to slip away with the incoming tide into the Solent or away with the ebb to Poole and beyond. Can you tell I like her a lot Bill?
Thank you very much indeed, Brian. I think John has come up with a winner! Already a lot of interest is being shown by the small sailboat/boatbuilding community. With the combined elements of Scamp and Walkabout she'll be a more able boat than either of them, capable of undertaking longer coastal passages. She'll sail fast, and being self-draining she'll be able to take a bit of stick. As is the case with many a sailboat adventure, much depends on the ability of the crew. John aspires to sail her around NZ's North Island before he gets too old to so. Good for him! Armchair sailor that I have become, I'll be looking forward to hearing how he gets on. I wish him all the best. Brian, I can see why you like the boat - perfect for Keyhaven and Solent sailing. Cheers, Bill.

A Viking Faering
Cricket headed to Colorado a few minutes after we decked the Loper boat, and the next morning Pat and I flew to Maine to build a faering at WoodenBoat School. Jay Smith, our instructor, said the faering, which means a four-oared boat, was perhaps the Datsun pickup truck of a thousand years ago in Norway. It was the knockabout carry-all transport boat that you couldn’t really live without. They still make them in Norway, still do it by eye, and they still look exactly the same. Why change a good thing?
We set up our fortresses in the campground. Turns out it’s a good thing we used the raised platforms. For most of the next two weeks we got torrential rains, flattening my tent a few times. Luckily there’s a drier in the Farmhouse a few hundred yards away.
We cut out fore and aft stems, then cut a keel to match.
Lovely white oak grain, no?
Then we made some primitive scarphs joints to fasten them together.
We used big forged iron spikes and rivets and little else to put the beast together. The blacksmith that makes them sounds like quite a character. Jay quotes him, “I’m a Finn. And I’m a berserker. Don’t f*#k with me.”
Prow in the foreground, Farmhouse with student lodging in the background. It’s warm and dry in the Farmhouse. Why are we camping?
Oak knees that Jay harvested for the project. The two big ones closest are for frames in the bow and stern. The other four are oarlocks.
Jay’s world of Viking tools.
The caulking yarn is made from the long, wiry guard hairs of some strange sheep in England. Wild stuff.
Fastening on the garboards.
The caulking string gets soaked in a mix of linseed oil and pine tar, then laid in a small groove in the planking.
Gene Shaw was our wonderful assistant. We couldn’t have done it without him.
Then we begin shaping and putting on the strakes, five per side, all steam bent and force-fit.
Jay telling us tales of Norse boatbuilding heritage.
Gene gave a wonderful demonstration of his woodcut printing process one evening. Holy smokes, what an artist.
It rained a lot and blew hard from odd directions. Directions I did not have my tent suitably braced for. Back to the drier.
The WoodenBoat Magazine offices, up on the hill, on a foggy morning.
Iron rivets are a lot more work than copper ones, and a whole lot noisier.
My friend and sailing coach Jane coaxed us out to Naskeag Point to watch the sunset.
It was so pretty we forgot the tide was rising. Oops.
Cutting in the gain for the next strake.
I got the idea to make a pair of oars for the faering. Viking oars are as strange as Viking oarlocks. Huge triangular-ish upper looms tapering to a thin spoon blade. But it kept me out of everyone else’s way for two days. Here is one of them with the oak oarlock I shaped.
We finally topped out and Jay showed us how to cut the sheer line down with a broad axe. Yikes.
We got her done enough to float. A wee bear came by one morning during the build, so the boat got christened Lille Bjorn, which is little bear in Norwegian.
It was a treat to see her on the water. All of a sudden, instead of a daunting series of tasks to do, we could see the boat for what it was. Mighty pretty.

16′ 6″ Elfyn
An Oughtred faering designed for sheet-plywood construction.
15' Elf & 16' 6" Elfyn
The original print version of this article can be viewed as a PDF or purchased from the WoodenBoat Store.
T he best of Norway’s small craft approach aesthetic and functional perfection. Iain Oughtred chose to not tamper with the results of evolution when designing Elf and her larger cousin, Elfyn . He simply drew traditional Norwegian faering (four-oared) hulls for plywood-epoxy lapstrake construction, thereby making these timeless boats more accessible to amateur builders.
Particulars
When building either of these faerings, we’ll need to make and set up a more-or-less conventional backbone. (If this task seems too daunting, or if we simply prefer the advantages of a narrow flat bottom, we might build one of Oughtred’s handsome Skerrieskiffs.) The hull’s strakes must be shaped and beveled, but the strength and gap-filling properties of epoxy might help to fill in for perfection. Of course, that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try to get everything just right! Many years experience with this construction at the WoodenBoat waterfront have proven boats of such manufacture to be strong, light, and easy to keep.
Although Oughtred’s drawings show auxiliary sailing rigs, these faerings are primarily wonderful pulling boats meant for rowing in calm and rough water. Each has a strong sheerline that sweeps down to amidships from a bold stem and sternpost. The body plan shows a narrow waterline. Both ends of the hull are fine (sharp) below the water but gain volume, hence buoyancy, dramatically above the waterline. Elf and Elfyn are smart enough to slice through small waves and to climb over the big ones.
Heights and half-breadths.
In keeping with the primary means of propulsion, Oughtred details an appropriate pair of 9’6″ oars with blades that are long (3′) and narrow (3″). After rowing Elf, the designer tells us: “She handles well in seriously rough water. I’ve had her in steep, tall waves where few boats her size could live. She tracks extraordinarily well.”
These double-enders go together easily, yet they retain the practical elegance of their forebears.
Glued plywood-lapstrake construction brings this sophisticated hull within range for an amateur builder.
The 16′ 6″ Elfyn faering design plans include 7 sheets plus 17 pages of additional notes from the designer. No lofting is required, and this one is ideal for an intermediate builder.
Plan 155 & 156 DESCRIPTION Hull type: Round-bottomed, double-ended Rig: Sprit (Elf), balance lug (Elfyn) Construction: Glued-lapstrake plywood
PERFORMANCE Suitable for protected waters Intended capacity: 1-3 Trailerable: Propulsion: Sail, oars
BUILDING DATA Skill needed: Intermediate Lofting required: No
PLANS DATA No. of sheets: 8 (Elf), 7 (Elfyn) Supplemental information: 16 pages Level of Detail: Above average Plans Format: Print Cost per set: $204 (Elf), $225 (Elfyn)

Completed Elfyn Images
Under oars, the Elfyn slides effortlessly with proper longitudinal trim. Rowing alone, some ballast, about 20 to 30 lbs, put where it’s needed, whether in the bow or stern, will keep the keel level.
The centerboard case is located a bit off-center, alongside the full-length keel. If you choose to install the daggerboard, its trunk will take up space in the middle of the boat. On the after edge of the forward thwart you can see the cleats we added, one for the rope shroud and the other for the halyard, doubling as the other shroud. Another wooden cleat was installed in the after edge of the center thwart for the sheet.

Classic wooden sail and power boats custom built in ballydehob, west cork, ireland, 16′ faering.
These four boats were built for two different Viking era type TV productions. The first ones were built (2012) for Game of Thrones and feature large ceremonial stem and stern ornaments. They were built as funeral boats for a major scene. The other more “conventional” ones were built for Vikings (2013) and were to be used as general boat transport for various characters.
Based roughly on the traditional Faerings or four oared boats of the Hardanger region in Norway and heavily influenced by the small boat found at Gokstad these boats are surprising for more than their looks. They are burdensome and light, track well when rowing and are incredibly easy to row. Roeboats also made some beautiful light and strong spruce oars to a traditional Norwegian pattern for these boats. If you were looking for a light, elegant and seaworthy boat that would be at home on rivers, lakes and the sea you won’t go wrong in choosing one of these. Roeboats can custom build these in a variety of lengths up to about 20′. If you prefer they can have either the swept up planking or not.

A faering is an open boat with two pairs of oars, commonly found in most boat-building traditions in western and northern Scandinavia. [1] History. Faerings are clinker-built, with planks overlapped and riveted together to form the hull.
Faerings are very fine-ended, which gives them their wonderful speed and tracking. The fine ends rob the boat of flotation, however, so a 15- or 16-foot faering would have a disappointing payload. My 19'8" faering has a useful capacity of about 800 pounds, good enough for a daysailing family, or for serious camp-cruising.
It merely means a boat with 4 oars. In the same way a treroring has 3 rowing in the boat.There are also larger and smaller row boats in the same tradition. Different areas have variations of faerings, but they all have 4 oars in common. A faering is a clinker (lapstrake) type boat which is pointed at both end, with no transom.
