The meeting will be in-person only.

The Ships that defined the Viking Age

Speaker: Mal Waugh

The Viking Longship is the essence of the Viking age. These ships, arguably, are key to understanding the Nordic sailor - explorer – trader – settler culture. Without the Viking Longship there would have been no Viking age.

The presentation is a mix of culture, marine archaeology, reconstruction for museum display versus historic ship reproduction, naval architecture versus built-by-eye rule of thumb plus some travel recommendations.

Mal Waugh is now a retired Naval Architect. Some years ago, as a Royal Australian Navy apprentice, he was taught both carvel and clinker (lapstrake) timber construction.

Speaker: Jogchum Bruinsma, Nedstack

Jogchum Bruinsma is the commercial director for Nedstack, a Dutch company specialising in the development and manufacture of fuel-cells for land and maritime applications. Jogchum will discuss the characteristics of PEM fuel-cells and their application for boats and ships.
