Hi, my name is John Hopkins. I recently made this video for Norseboat and Kevin Jeffrey. After filming at this shop and learning all about Norseboats and their incredible innovative features, sheer handmade craftsmanship, and the immense amount of thought that goes into every part of this incredible line of sailboats, owning one is now on my bucket list now! And on the water, it is exhilarating. The quickness of this boat is very impressive as well as its ability to turn on a dime. I should have charged more and put a deposit down. Ugh!
At the time I wanted mine there were just none (used) available in the U.S. So I bought mine through Kevin. Drove to Nova Scotia to pick it up and met Kevin on PEI to get the documents for "import". I just finished making new canvas for her, VäderÖga, WeatherEye. Pulled up to a boat manufacturer in Chattanooga, TN. to arrange for lessons. (They make the McLaughlin "Optimist") One of the managers looking out the window, excitedly rushed out... "Is that a NorseBoat?! I have always wanted to see one in person! I've read all about them in technical journals!" My Norseboat ALWAYS gets rave comments for her beautiful lines!
I recently sold a boat to someone who had owned a Norseboat 17.5 in the past (Patrick Connor, he bought one from a doctor in Florida who had never used it). He had nothing but good things to say about the Norseboat. I do keep checking your Brokerage page. :)
My compliments on such a well-designed and functional boat. This looks like a great alternative for a two person crew. I would have a small engine for the 17.5 as rowing seems a bit of a challenge for a boat of this weight.
@@algyk yes, we sell direct to customers abroad, including in the UK. Contact me by email kjeffrey@norseboat.com for more information. Cheers, Kevin Jeffrey, Founder and Owner.
Beautifully designed boats. I have to test sail the 12.5 and the 17.5. I am looking for a camp cruiser that I can also use for impromptu rowing (fly fishing) and sailing. The lines are awesome! Is there someone on the east coast with whom I can go sailing?
I love the combination of modern composites with classic lines. This is a boat I would be proud to own.

It’s funny that you say you wish that you had put a deposit down. I make videos too and I was thinking the same thing.
Your 17.5 stirred something in me, been looking at lots of small trailerable sailboats and I love yours over all I 've seen.

Everglades challenge,........ looks like a good fit.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE by Norseboat 17.5 and Kevin is everything he represents here, too.
I get CONSTANT COMMENTS on how beautiful she is!
Greetings Kevin,
I love my 17.5
VäderÖga WeatherEye
I spend all of my time now doing canvas for others but I am finishing my own camper top, Finally!

Beautiful dream boat.

It would be great to have a rigging video!
A very beautiful little ship. Would it be possible to see the 17.5 somewhere in (or near) the Netherlands?
Perfect day sailor
Can you buy these boats in the UK ?! 🇬🇧. Looks fantastic.

Can you cargo a 21 ft to Thailand? How much, approx. Thanks
What if it capsizes? Can one man right it again?
I bet they are Expensive!
If only I had money...
Come to work in the oilfield.
I believe base price is about 14 g's. for the 17.5. The 21.5 at only 4 feet longer is double the price.
