Overview

Farmann Båtlag is a Norwegian boat association (båtlag) based in Tønsberg, Norway. It is best known as the organization behind Saga Farmann, a full-scale sailing replica of the Klåstad ship — the vessel found in Klåstadkilen near Larvik that is regarded as Norway's fourth Viking ship and the only one exhibited outside Oslo. The association's work centres on the reconstruction, sailing and public presentation of this Viking-Age ship heritage. The replica was built at Vikingodden in Tønsberg and launched at the Tønsberg Viking Festival on 6 September 2018. The launch was broadcast live on NRK's "Norge nå" programme, giving the project national visibility. The association maintains the vessel and uses it for coastal sailing and heritage activities, with its public-facing presence hosted at sagafarmann.no. As a volunteer-driven boat association rather than a conventional commercial company, Farmann Båtlag operates in the cultural-heritage and maritime-experience space. Its brand identity is tied to the Saga Farmann name and to the story of the Klåstad ship, which is the third Viking ship associated with Vestfold and the only one displayed in that county. The association's activities combine traditional boatbuilding skills, sailing, and outreach around Norway's Viking maritime past.

History

Farmann Båtlag is a Norwegian boat association based in Tønsberg. Its central project has been the construction of Saga Farmann, a sailing replica of the Klåstad ship. The Klåstad ship was discovered in Klåstadkilen near Larvik and is counted as Norway's fourth Viking ship; it is also the third Viking ship linked to Vestfold and the only one of them exhibited in that county, since the others are displayed in Oslo. The replica was built at Vikingodden in Tønsberg, a site associated with traditional and Viking-Age boatbuilding. It was launched on 6 September 2018 during the Tønsberg Viking Festival. The launch event was carried live by the Norwegian public broadcaster NRK on its "Norge nå" programme, reflecting the project's national cultural significance. Through the Saga Farmann project, the association works to keep Viking-Age maritime craft alive, combining reconstruction, sailing and public outreach. Its website, sagafarmann.no, serves as the main channel for information about the ship and the association's activities.
