Hi Rick, that is very interesting as I was told that "Torsk" sailed on his bottom across the Atlantic as well. When I was going through some papers on board I found 2 blowen-up Black and White photo's of the hull being built, finished plating. and I was surprised to see that the Shed was just...

Yes, Beautiful looking vessel for the price. One does not often see a timber vessel of this type/caliber in this condition.

I wanted a full plate alloy Cat, and I couldn't find any that I liked ( Gutsy)in Australia. There is a company in New Zealand the build them but the cost and logistics were not in the ball park, also they had a raised tunnel in the center and I required a full flat deck plus I was restricted by...

Hi John, Congratulations on your purchase and arrival to Melbourne. I know you will have many future adventures on "Torsk" and enjoy every minute on board as I did. Its great to see you are the new custodian and I know "Torsk" is in good hands. Just for your information I believe "Torsk" is the...

Thanks Simi60. It is an alloy cat hull with a single 60Hp yamaha outboard. I designed and built it at 4.250mts. to fit across the foredeck of "Torsk" for our 2018-19 Coral Sea trip, very stable at 2 mts beam and handles a sea. great fishing vessel. Cheers.

Yes, Kev from Mainline Diesel in Brisbane is good and he will travel, he did worn on my 6LKDT. He did his apprenticeship with Gardner in England. You pay for what you get and he has the skills and knowledge. Cheers.

Torsk Sold Hi All, Yes "Torsk" has been sold and is now in Melbourne, Australia. We had 2.5 years of cruising on "Torsk" around the South Pacific and it was a great trip in an amazing vessel with many stories. Thanks for all the interest in the vessel and I know the new owner will have a lot...

Yes, that would be great to see you down-under and I would love to see your lovely Nordhaven, what a beauty!. "Torsk" will be cruising the Queensland Coast, Solomon Islands, Coral Sea in 2018.

Hi Delfin, Thanks for the great photos, I haven't seen these before and interesting as I will use them for reference and some sort of scale if I decide to build and install the mizzen mast down the track. Hi Nomad Willy On the story of the "big flare bow", it is great in a punch as it lifts the...

I have used a new product here in Australia called "Aqua Prop", I believe it is used in Europe. it is very similar to "Prop Speed" but not the cost. I had the chance to meet the Australian distributor last year when my yacht was up on the hard for a bottom job and he wanted me to try it, so I...

Romsdal Trawler "Torsk" Hi All, A few photos of the progress on the refit on "Torsk" in Australia.

Hi Al from FlyWright. Thanks for the "Welcome Aboard" much appreciated. Cheers.

Sorry for any misunderstanding that was not intended, I believe these vessels are unique in their own way and from my perspective they look beautiful with great lines above and below the water line as well as being steel round bilge they are strong and a sea kindly vessel, a little roll maybe...

Hi Ulysses, You probably know why Delfin and Torsk are unique as I believe there are only two 55' steel Romsdal vessels to that design that are sailing the seas. The same as your vessel is unique as it is 53' and I don't believe there is any other steel Romsdal vessel that length sailing the...

Thanks Delfin, I have watched this site for a while and learn't lots and you have a beautiful ship with amazing capabilities,I believe these 2 vessels are unique in this world, well done with all work in the refit and hope to talk more in the future after Torsk arrives in Australia for a refit...
