>>978643Hah, thanks.
I love the boat too, got it for 1200$ from a friend, after ha had spent 3 years fixing it up with loads of smart solutions, including a solar panel.
We get those kind of seas just a few hours from my home harbour, if I go into the North Sea, but I prefer to stay in calmer waters until I feel I know the boat 100%.
When we sailed to Shetland last time we came into a moderate gale, and it was a little too much for me.
The viking people tend to be either white supremacists or neckbeards, I've never got on with them.
