Here is the strake lofting. By my count the strakes of this 38 foot
boat could be cut out of 40 sheets of 1/2 inch plywood. Bulkheads add
perhaps ten more sheets, and the decking about six. It sure would be
fun to build a boat like this, though it is real big. I think a 2/3rds
scale down would be twice as easy to achieve and would be pretty nice
too.

Here is the URL of some pics, of interest because they show a layout
of the rigging details of a Viking Longboat square rig...

Thanks Bruce
As a Dane I can identify with the type of boat:-)
