 "...it is really fun to get your hands on something like the NorseBoat 17.5, a daysailer whose simplicity, performance, and traditional good looks add up to simple pleasure." |
| "The NorseBoat is a complete, well-conceived, and well executed package... Imagine luxury sea kayaking without the paddling or schlepping of gear..." |
-Geoff Kerr, Small Boats |

| "And the superlatives just keep coming. She rows like a dream, sails even better. Not tender, feels so 'solid', very forgiving, amazingly dry, doesn't pound in the horrible slop lake Ontario generates. Overall 10++ on a scale of 1-10. Thanks again for a wonderful experience." |
-Lee Doran, Ontario (Hull # 18) |

| "...all you have to do is look at the number of voyaging style kayaks sold today to understand that there is a market for this type of boat...I can think of no finer boat for the job than the NorseBoat. If you have no intention of camp-cruising but are looking for a distinct and yare (manageable and maneuverable) daysailer I would also recommend the NorseBoat." |
-Robert Perry, naval architect |
| "I just spent the best half hour of my life, on your website, looking at photos of your 17.5 sail/row boat." |
-L. Berthiaume, Michigan |

NorseBoats are exhilerating to sail and a joy to row. They are a lovely blend of tradition and modern technologies. Their classic lines are pleasing to the eye while their modern design, high performance rig, and high quality construction make these small sailboats and rowing boats fast and efficient under sail or oar.
| "The line drawing (of the Chuck Paine designed NorseBoat) takes our breath away. She looks both beautiful and versatile." |
- Small Craft Advisor |
Trailer Sailer Convenience and Portability. NorseBoats are simple to maintain, transport and store. They sit upright and easily be pulled onto a beach or ramp. On a trailer the 17.5 fits in a standard garage and can be towed with a modest size vehicle. The 12.5 can be carried on a small trailer or even on the roof of a vehicle. All sailing and rowing components store conveniently in a padded bag that fits in the cockpit.
| "Under sail or oar power, the NorseBoat is a fun boat for beach camping or pillaging." |
-Sailing Magazine |
