This Viking longboat would be a stunning part of any rowing club's fleet. It would create a real impression at regattas. Even before the lootin', rapin' and pillagin'. And you can buy it at the
Turks Film Boats auction.
She was built by noted wooden boatbuilder Ian Richardson in Orkney, so it must be just about the most authentic and well-built replica you can get. The hull is a dramatic 50ft long, with a beam of 10ft, but it splits in two for easier towing. Ten oars, mast and rudder are included, but it is unclear whether you get the dragon's head shown in the picture (which comes from
Ian's website).
