WoodenBoat magazine editor Matt Murphy interviews Rick Barkhuff, instructor with the Landing School of Boatbuilding and Design in Arundel, Maine.

Featured in Design Sketchbook from WoodenBoat Magazine, September/October 2020. BELLE is an 11′ performance-minded sail-and-oar boat for an experienced 13-year-old sailor who wishes to learn traditional boatbuilding.

The crew was composed of eight students from the Fosen Folkhøgskole (folk school) in Rissa, which offers yearlong courses in the traditional folk arts including boatbuilding, sailing, farming, self-sufficiency, and crafts. The sailing students sail throughout the winter in a fleet of Fosen-built Åfjørd’s boats including four-oared færings and larger fembørings.
