Norwegian Sango news Oct 2023
I just received this email from a Norwegian builder:
"I've completed the construction of my Sango "Rán" on Jeløya, Norway.
It took me three years to finish this project. The construction proved to be quite challenging at times, yet I found immense satisfaction in every aspect of it. I acquired a lot of knowledge and skills throughout the experience.
My building space was a garage with a 15-meter driveway, measuring 2.60 meters in width. While it served its purpose for me, I wouldn't necessarily recommend it. I divided the boat's assembly into four parts: the Cockpit/Cuddy, floats, and beams. The Cockpit/Cuddy section was lifted with the trailer structure, and I used a winch to position the floats underneath. I then inserted and epoxied the beams into their designated locations.
A few weeks ago, I successfully launched Rán, and the floats folded out seamlessly. Sango is spacious enough for a family of four and will serve us well for many years.
Thank you for enabling regular people like me to build a catamaran."
