The full-rigger Sørlandet to the sail-ship port Kleven in Mandal

Good media coverage when the school ship Sørlandet arrived in Kleven on the last and perhaps warmest day in July.

NRK Radio, NRK TV, Fædrelandsvennen and Lindesnes newspaper covered the arrival. Mandal Wooden Boat Association met " Sørlandet " at Ryvingen lighthouse and followed her in to Kleven. There is little doubt that the mandalites appreciated the visit. The barge will remain there for about 2 weeks so that various local and regional suppliers can take a closer look at the barge and plan the maintenance work that will continue throughout the autumn and winter See links to the media reports in the article.

Gold of the forest to pride of the sea - Over one hundred year old pine gets new life at Sørlandet

When the Norwegian The Ship Sørlandet needed a new ship's deck, a very special material was found in the forests around Elverum. The centuries-old pine forest there contains trees with a core of naturally impregnated wood, perfect for withstanding the marine environment. This "gold timber", as it was called, is the result of several generations of forestry and natural growing conditions.
