R/S Christian Børs, of the Bjarne Aas class, is for sale. Built in 1937 for motor and sail, 61' oak on oak. Certified for 30 passengers and sleeps 10. Not cheap at NOK 1 500 000 / USD 200 000, but seems to be well maintained and with most of the original looks and equipment intact.

BTW, if you want to see a comprehensive listing of old Norwegian work boats currently for sale, go to http://www.finn.no . Choose the "Båt" link from the menu on the left, "Båt til salgs" and then scroll down to "Yrkesbåt/Sjark/Skøyte" in the list box and click the blue "Søk" button. You may also choose "Trebåt/Snekke" from the list box to view traditional wooden boats for sale. Norwegian only, I'm afraid, but lots of pics.
