Viking 30 (Buchanan)

Viking 30 (Buchanan) is a 30 ′ 2 ″ / 9.2 m monohull sailboat designed by Alan Buchanan starting in 1960.

Rig and Sails

Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.

Classic hull speed formula:

Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL

Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.

SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3

• SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
• D : Displacement in pounds.

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.

Ballast / Displacement * 100

Displacement / Length Ratio

A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
• LWL: Waterline length in feet

Comfort Ratio

This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
• LOA: Length overall in feet
• Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet

Capsize Screening Formula

This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

American Tourist Dead After Viking Ship Replica Sinks Off Coast of Norway: Reports

There were six people on the vessel when it capsized about 60 miles off the country’s west coast

A U.S. tourist has died after a Viking replica boat sank off the coast of Norway, according to multiple reports.

Six people were on board the 30-foot open wooden vessel when it encountered rough seas — with waves that were between 13-16 feet high — during an expedition from the Faroe Islands to Norway, on the evening of Tuesday, Aug. 27, according to Agence France Presse and the BBC .

The ship sent a distress signal, and five people, including its skipper, were able to get into an inflatable life raft, and were airlifted by a helicopter with help from the Norwegian coast guard ship KV Bergen , which arrived on the scene, per Norwegian newspaper Verdens Gang (VG) .

The body of the woman, who was reported to be an American citizen in her 20s by Norwegian media, was found Wednesday, Aug. 28, near where the Naddoddur capsized about 60 miles off the country’s west coast, according to the outlets.

Per the BBC, the expedition had already been postponed for several days due to the weather, and Norway’s Sea Rescue Society posted a video that showed strong winds and high waves in the area at the time the vessel went down.

The passengers on board were attempting a voyage, from the Faroe Islands to Alesund in Norway — similar to one that Vikings conducted more than 1,000 years ago, per the AFP.

The survivors were from Switzerland and the Faroe Islands, according to VG.

The local newspaper also reported that the boat's skipper has yet to be questioned, but authorities have opened an investigation.

American Woman Dies While Re-Creating Viking Voyage

A n American woman has died after the boat she was in—a replica of a Viking-type ship—capsized off Norway's west coast late Tuesday. The BBC reports she was one of six people aboard the Naddoddur, a 30-foot long boat that encountered rough seas while traveling from the Faroe Islands to Alesund, Norway, in a trip that mimicked one Vikings would have taken a millennium ago.

Norway's Sea Rescue Society described angry conditions, with waves of up to 16 feet and wind speeds at 40 knots. The boat issued a distress signal, and the other passengers managed to get into a life raft. They were later airlifted from it by helicopter. AFP reports that local media described the victim, who was found in the water, as an American in her 20s.

The head of the Faroe Islands' Naddoddur boat club says the boat had previously completed Viking-style trips to Iceland, Shetland, and Norway; this expedition had been underway for four days. "It's not a Viking boat," he explained, but "a Faroes fishing boat without a motor but with sails" and oars. Prior to setting out on the trip, which was delayed a number of days due to weather, the BBC reports a crew member wrote that "you just try to do the best you can" during a storm. "It's an open boat. You sleep under the stars, and when it's raining or windy you can feel the elements."

Replica Viking ship capsized off Norway

One person is missing after a ship with six people capsized near stad.

There were six people on board the ship which capsized outside Stad on Tuesday evening. Five have been rescued, but one person has not been identified. A major rescue operation was launched after the ship sent a distress signal just after 19.30. The five who were picked up are now housed in Florø: Source: Redningsaksjon ved Stad etter naudsignal frå fartøy – NRK Vestland

The rescue boat “Idar Ulstein” arrives at the town at 10 p.m. There should be up to 35-40 knots of wind in the area and waves of 5 metres:

Missing woman found dead after Viking ship capsizes

It was the Coast Guard ship KV “Bergen” that found the Viking ship. The missing woman in her 20s was found a few hundred meters away from the wreck. On Wednesday morning, the rescue operation ended, and the search for the presumed dead person began.

• Relatives have now been notified. The police will not release the name of the deceased today, writes operations manager Morten Rebnord in a press release. The deceased is an American woman in her 20s.

The search for the missing woman has continued throughout the night, after the Viking ship capsized on Tuesday evening outside Stad . The deceased woman will undergo an autopsy. Coast guard ship KV “Bergen” will try to hoist the Viking ship on board. Altogether there were six people in the boat, all foreign nationals. The other five, who are from Switzerland and the Faroe Islands, were rescued and transported to Florø where they are taken care of by crisis teams.

The police announced on Wednesday morning that they had held brief conversations with those who survived, and that a case would be opened.

• There are very difficult search conditions, both from the air and the sea. There is poor visibility, strong wind and waves, and also occasional strong showers. It is difficult, said rescue manager Oddgeir Andersen to VG.

Here from the website local.fo:

PS> According to the Facebook page of the Faroese boat team Naddoddur, the boat was launched in 1997. That year should also have been the last time the boat was in Norway, writes NRK . According to the plan, the boat was to be received by Kystlaget Trondhjem at Fosenkaia in Trondheim. The team’s manager Jan-Petter Hubert Hansen says to NRK: (smp.no)

A sad business.

@ombugge please keep updating this in English as you have. I’d like to follow along in the investigation. Thanks.

I wonder what the crew were wearing when they capsized. We conduct somewhat similar voyages, albeit on the sheltered Salish Sea/Inside Passage. Our crews wear kayaker drysuits, and it’s a complete game changer. You can do physical work in them, unlike a survival suit, and unlike a “Mustang suit” they keep you dry/warm if immersed. With a kayaker’s drysuit on and wearing a PFD someone can last a surprisingly long time in cold water, especially if the base layer is fleece.

The other thing to learn is what tactic they used when the weather came up.

For those not familiar, a kayaker dry suit is basically gore tex coveralls with latex neck/ankle/wrist gaskets, not the neoprene drysuits divers wear. You can later underneath. I’ve paddled in one in 33F water 20 F air temps and was comfortable.

Replicating a trip to the Faroe Islands done in the 8th century with 8th century boats is an interesting endeavor. But I wonder if they thought about the many unsuccessful trips the 8th century explorers made before they were successful? Hoping that you’ll be the one that made it instead of the many that died is a little crazy. I hope they didn’t cheat and use a EPIRB or similar modern device to summon help and deliberately put other lives a risk with their 8th century adventure.

Yes they were repeating a trip made in the 8th century in ar boat replica of a 19th century Faeroe fishing boat, but with some modern amenities (incl. a life raft) The boat was built in 1997 and did it’s first overseas trip to Norway that same year. Since then it has made several trips across to European mainland and to Iceland.

I will not speculate on why they didn’t accept assistance after the first emergency call, nor what they were wearing on the trip. We will get a preliminary report fairly quickly and a final report in due course.

The last is not unlike the the Noddoddur, only a bit bigger and with a different type of sail, known as “asymmetric square sail”.

I think it would be awesome to make such a journey. But I’m also in my 30s and in decent shape. Definitely not for the faint of heart. Thank you for the updates Ommbuggee
