Norwegian Girl, a Skanner 19 was built in 1982 by Mike Hawes of Devoran. She is the first of type and originally Bermudan rigged with an aluminium mast. She was also the subject of an article in the PBO in 1984. Early in her life, she was converted to a gaff rigged cutter with a short bowsprit and fitted with a direct drive Dolphin petrol diesel inboard. The present owner, Malcolm Goram has modified the rig by raising the gaff to a high peak, lengthened the bowsprit, increased the rudder area and design and re-engined with a Bukh 10 diesel inboard. She has also recently undergone an extensive internal refit.
