SKAGEN
One for the workboat woodys today, Skagen is a 36’ Danish double ender, built by Salthouse in 1973. She has a beam of 10’7” & draws 4’11” with a carvel kauri hull. Powered by a mighty 5LW Gardner diesel, 4 berths in 2 cabins, toilet, gas cooker, radar, 2 x GPS chart plotters, depth/fish finder, autopilot, hyd. steering, electric capstan, easy walk round side decks, wheelhouse side doors, steadying sail. A very salty ship that you would feel very safe in.
She spent over 10 years in commercial fishing on the East Coast & has recently been restored.
Look at the Kim Kardashian backside on her – that’s a work of art 😉
Thanks to Ian McDonald for the heads up on the trademe listing.
Input from David Glen – Skagen’ was moored in the Whangapoua Harbour, off Matarangi Wharf, for the best part of the last 20 years. She was owned by a local resident who worked in the local forests. She caught my eye at Matarangi in 90’s and she appeared to be well maintained, but seldom used. She looks good in the pics.
Jeez! Just noticed the comparison with Kim Kardashian in the bottie dept. Sry but I differ. Kim’s is over engineered and not as elegant as Skagen’s

Sortakinda happy to say that she is in appreciative hands in the Marlborough Sounds up towards Havelock way. The last owner reports that she was recently trucked down to Wellington and steamed over the Strait to her new home.

Many years ago on a Brixham trawler it was a bucket – and I don’t remember washing 🙂
