The washboard on board the Sea Stallion from Glendalough
Reconstructed Viking Ships
The gunwale of the Sea Stallion may have been fitted with a washboard, as pictured here. This helps to prevent excess water breaking over the side of the ship, particularly in big swell.

The Sea Stallion (video of summer sailing 2016)
Viking ships
Every summer I sail the mighty Sea Stallion, a faithful replica of a viking warship. The three-week raid is packed with adventure, camaraderie, exhaustion, and tons upon tons of fun.
These are just a few moments of the awe inspiring trip, and they relay only a fraction of the experience, but there you go. If you want the whole package, you'll just have to come along!

The Sea Stallion (Havhingsten) Reconstructed Viking Ship in Rørvig Harbour
Reconstructed Viking Ships
Havhingsten fra Glendalough (The Sea Stallion from Glendalough) is an accurate reconstruction of the largest of the Skuldelev ships (Skuldelev 2), a 30m long warship. The ship was reconstructed by the Viking Ship Museum in Roskilde using traditional materials and construction techniques, and sailed to Dublin and back in 2007-2008. It has a crew of 65 volunteers, who sail it at weekends and for a longer voyage in the summer, refining how it is sailed. For more information, see <a href="http://www.vikingeskibsmuseet.dk/en/visit-the-museum/exhibitions/the-five-reconstructions/the-sea-stallion-from-glendalough-skuldelev-2/">http://www.vikingeskibsmuseet.dk/en/visit-the-museum/exhibitions/the-five-reconstructions/the-sea-stallion-from-glendalough-skuldelev-2</a>/

The remains of Skuldelev 2 in the Viking Ship Museum, Roskilde
Viking ships
The Viking warship Skuldelev 3 in 29.4 meters long, and the largest of the ships scuttled in the Roskilde Fjord. It dates to to c. 1042 and is built from oak from the Dublin area in Ireland and as an impressive warship probably took part in several of the major events of the late Viking Age. It is on permanent display in the Viking Ship Museum, Roskilde, and was reconstructed as Havhingsten. For more information see http://www.vikingeskibsmuseet.dk/en/

Photograph of the beitass (stretching pole) and tack on the Sea Stallion
Reconstructed Viking Ships
The beitass is used to secure the lower corner of the sail - it is particularly important when sailing close to the wind, and takes significant force from the sail. A team of four are needed to move the beitass.
