Here are some links to the 118 year old boat built by Ola Nerhus in Olve during the winter of 1893-94. There is a lot of her history on their website. She is still sailing and delivers humanitarian cargos of donated educational and medical supplies to isolated island communities in South Est Asia. Good pictures at at the website at http://www.sailvega.com or at this site http://www.sailvega.wordpress.com
