Good eye, it is a fembøring.
I attended Fosen Folkehøgskole in Rissa.
We got to build and sail those boats up and down the coast.
What a blast.
They can go into the wind, just not quite as steeply as other boats.
And man can they run down wind!

Here are some cool pics that I just found.

Do the plugs, wires, oil and pads yourself...a slow paced weekend of work. That'll set you back about 300.00

You'll need a lift for the other stuff and it'll cost ya. What kind of car is it?
Worth putting money into? I just spent 2000.00 trying to pass inspection...
fuckers!!!!! It was worth it though. I need a PU with a lift gate.

I use a MOTU Ultralite.
Car is a V70.

Wish I could help you with the Volvo. Nice car and probably worth
putting in the money for another 200,000 miles...though it does sound
like a bitch in terms of cost. I've got a not so nice GMC beater truck, which I call the Texas cadillac. Sucked when gas was high.

Since hearing that Stephin Merritt used MOTU i've been thinking
I should get one. In terms of cost and quality MOTU comes out
ahead. I guess it's the Volvo of the audio interface world. Now
that I know you have one it's a no brainer.

Thinking about a boat, myself. A canoe, actually, for fishing and to take the family out on the lake near our cabin. Haven't picked one out, yet, though.

Depends on the vehicle but I estimate $2,000 to start.

That much work would techincally qualify my vehicle for "totalled".

Nice surprise Fenrisinho.

Check this out, this is sailing from Svolvær to Trondheim in 1986.
Pretty fun.

Cool, I grew up with a tobøring that my stepdad bought while we were living in Finnmark. Was completely surprised when I figured out that you can sail against the wind
