Our young Vikings did not want to get their sails wet so it took a fair bit of puff to get their sleek , clinker built, shallow draught vessels across the Pentland Firth! They managed it though in 2-3 seconds!If only the actual journey took that long!
(Just a bit of fun.)
Do you know how long the Northlink MV Hamnavoe takes to cross the Pentland Firth ?
Perhaps those Norse sailors a thousand years ago with their wonderfully crafted vessels and a strong wind behind them were not that far behind...
What fantastic boats, you have made a super job of designing them and I bet it was fun setting sail!!
