12.5 KVM Krysser
Our maritime interest goes beyond the professional market – it extends to our hobbies as well. Central to our love for the sea, is our 12.5 KVM Krysser sailboat, a classic mahogany dinghy designed in 1929 by Chr. Jenssen. With its elegant lines and sturdy hull, this sailboat embodies the essence of Norwegian nautical heritage, harking back to the golden age of sail. The vessel showcases meticulous craftsmanship, adding to its timeless appeal.
Stepping aboard this sailboat in Risør is like taking a journey back in time, embracing the romance and grace of an era where craftsmanship and artistry reigned supreme, which is why we here at Risør Shipping love it so much.
