Photo series: Trial sailing with Kraka Fyr

Kraka Fyr has gone through a series of tests that has been a challenge for the boat, the rigging and the crew. The boat builders and researchers are satisfied.

The photo series shows Kraka Fyr when it was sailed with nine crew members and a deplacement on nearly 4.5 tons. Photo 8 to 16 shows how the neck rope breaks and the crew are busy getting down the sail. All photos: Werner Karrasch, the Viking Ship Museum
