ORCA – Boat for Sale!

Simon Osgood bought my attention to an advert in ‘Classic Boat’.

Artisan Boatworks were advertising “ORCA” with this write up about her. The
description of the Folkboat is very compelling. Both Artisan Boatworks and The
Northwest School of Wooden Boat Building were very kind and helpful giving me
permission to copy their ‘write up’ and use their photographs.

‘ORCA is a new Nordic Folkboat, launched February 2018. She was built by the
Northwest School of Wooden Boat Building to an exceptionally high standard and
won first place in the Port Townsend Annual Shipwrights Regatta. Last year ORCA was
shipped across the country to Maine, where
at Artisan Boatworks in Rockport she was
outfitted with a new custom Triad Trailer 10
hp Honda outboard, and a whole compliment
of Wilmex self-tailing bronze winches.
