It's an exact replica of the four cylinder diesel engines that the Vikings used. Even the electronic fuel injection system uses all-wood construction with tar and hemp components. The fuel is a hybrid mixture of Mead and Ale and Sheep Urine. The propeller is made of Moose Antler and Bear Hide.

I own a home near the only confirmed Viking site in North America(outside of Greenland, which is on the NA tectonic plate). By chance I was in the remote heart of the Strait of Belle Isle when the Draken sailed through with icebergs all around. I thought it was a wonderful coincidence. Too bad I can't insert one of the photos I took that afternoon.

"regulation dictates that we are limited to the number of person allowed onboard for a voyage between Norway and the UK. The ship needs 100 persons to row and we were only allowed 30 on the vessel.’ Clearly, the Vikings would have had a very difficult time in savaging the UK if these requirements had been in place during the early mediaeval period.” So, if the Viking ship replica lacked the personnel to row the ship to port, what did they do? Why they started the engines, of course. The engines were also required by Norwegian Government safety regulations."

14kts in what wind, and how close-hauled will she sail?

@frankblangeard8865 6 жыл бұрын

In theory the maximum speed of a sailing vessel is 1.34 times the square root of the length at waterline. The Drunken Harold is about 115 feet long and for simplicity let's take that as the length at waterline. Then the maximum top speed of the ship would be 14.36 knots. A website for the ship claims that its top speed is 14 knots. So...this ship is as fast or taster than any racing sailboat in the world for it's length if their claim is true. A sailboat goes fastest at a 'close reach' and to go 14 knots the wind would need to be near 14 knots.
