One of the biggest barriers to sailing isn’t the sailing itself – it’s everything surrounding it. The complex rigging, expensive storage, difficult launching, boat transport, and time-consuming maintenance often keeps sailors off the water.
NorseBoat was designed to solve those problems.
Whether you’re sailing a NorseBoat 17.5 Classic, or the new Viking; every aspect of our 17.5 has been designed around simplicity, accessibility, and ease of ownership. The result is a boat that’s easy to store, quick to rig, easy to transport, and low maintenance, allowing owners to spend less time preparing and more time exploring.
Easy Storage, Anywhere
Unlike many sailboats that require dedicated marina slips and expensive storage facilities, NoreseBoats are fully trailerable and are compact enough to be stored at home.
Many owners keep their NorseBoat in:
- A standard garage
- a driveway
- a backyard storage area
- a boat shed
This flexibiliby not only saves on marina fees, but also makes spontaneous sailing easy. When the weather looks perfect, you can simply hitch up the trailer and head for the water. The ability to store your boat at home also means it’s always nearby, making it easier to maintain, inspect, and prepare for your next excursion.
Quick and Simple Rigging
Traditional sailboats ofter require extensive setup before launching. Standard rigging and complicated systems can turn a simple day sail into an all-day preparation process.
The NorseBoat platform takes a different approach.
The pivoting carbon mast is lightweight and easy to raise, and the rigging systems are simple and well thought out, allowing sailors to focus on:
- planning their course
- reading the wind
- steering the boat
- exploring new destinations
- enjoying the experience
The boat responds naturally and intuitively to adjustments, helping sailors build confidence and skill on the water.
Built for Adventure
The entire NorseBoat philosophy revolves around removing barriers to adventure.
Easy storage means fewer ownership headaches.
Simple rigging means quicker launches.
Straightforward adjustments means more enjoyable sailing.
Combined with the ability to sail, row, motor, and beach with ease; these features create a boat that adapts to your lifestyle rather than impeding it.
More Time on the Water
At the end of the day, the greatest advantage NorseBoats offer is time.
Less time spent storing.
Less time rigging.
Less time adjusting.
More time spent sailing, exploring, and creating memories on the water.
That’s what makes NorseBoat ownership so rewarding – and why so many owners find them sailing more often, with more confidence and versatility.
