the best content for your style of play—“the right kind of ecosystem for your creature , ” as wright puts it—spore builds a model of how you play the game , and searches for other players’ content that fits that model . if you create a hyper - aggressive darwinian monster , for example , the game might download equally cutthroat opponents to test you . in other words , while you are playing the game , the game is playing you .

spore isn’t a multiplayer game , like the immensely popular world of warcraft , which runs on “massively parallel” computers ( a distributed system employing many networked machines ) ; it’s what wright jokingly calls a massively parallel single - player game . if you enable an internet feature , spore servers will “pollinate” your copy of the game with content created by other players . in order to create
in america , the film – and more particularly bridges’ character – has spawned a cult following along the lines of the rocky horror show or the sound of music , with an annual big lebowski festival where participants arrive in dressing - gowns and bermuda shorts . it seems typical of bridges that he should have embraced all this in good part , sometimes turning up in person , naturally wearing his jelly shoes . once asked to explain the phenomenon , bridges replied , ' i just think it’s a weird dream i’m having , man…’ it is ironic , perhaps , that bridges said he had given up smoking pot for the role , ' because i wanted to have a clear head’ .

instead of direct conflict , german - style games tend to let players win without having to undercut or destroy their friends . this keeps the game fun , even for those who eventually fall behind . designed with busy parents in mind , german games also tend to be fast , requiring anywhere from 15 minutes to a little more than an hour to complete . they are balanced , preventing one person from running away with the game while the others painfully play out their eventual defeat . and the best ones stay fresh and interesting game after game .
bridges prefers to keep his distance from hollywood . he moved his family to santa barbara from los angeles following the big earthquake in 1994 . he also has a ranch in montana , made up of some of the buildings , including the whorehouse , used for the film heaven’s gate , which bridges had dismantled log by log and moved the 300 miles to their present location .
i walked up the steps , and watched from the road . the shot called for bridges to stroll along the beach , the pacific ocean behind him – a man at one with nature , enjoying a moment of solitary reflection . the make - up girl ran a comb through his hair , then bridges walked 20 or so yards up the beach , turned and began to walk back . the crew crab - walked backwards , careful not to stray into shot . bridges walked barefoot towards them , assuming the look of a man without a care in the world .
bill bridges was an original developer for white wolf publishing from 1992 to 1995 , where he contributed to werewolf : the apocalypse . bridges was the line editor for werewolf and as one of the early world of darkness developers , he was central to defining the look and feel of white wolf ' s world of darkness productions . he worked on the storytelling system rules for all the world of darkness games . it was his goal to present werewolves as something besides accursed humans , an idea which has since been echoed in some popular contemporary novel series . he was a part of the original mage : the ascension design team . he has many writing credits encompassing most of the second edition world of darkness games , and helped design rage , the werewolf collectible card game .

alligood received the kress foundation fellowship from smith college institute for art museum studies , and came to crystal bridges from cranbrook art museum where he was serving as the jeanne and ralph graham collections fellow .
teuber ' s plan for overcoming this challenge is , oddly enough , computers . he hopes that digital versions of settlers will help conquer ( sorry , liberate ) the us market . he and his son guido are convinced that moving the game online and onto platforms like xbox 360 and nintendo ds is the best way to win converts outside the board game world . the idea is that after getting to know the game and its rules on the pc and game consoles , people will be more likely to buy the analog version—still the most fulfilling and social settlers experience—to play with friends .
game designer cedric kerr had a brilliant idea for a video game called project sprawl where specialized teams of players would attempt to pull - off high - stakes heists in a stylish , unscripted , neo - noir city governed by emergent npcs . imagine a cross between ocean’s 11 , grand theft auto , and 1980s paper - and - pencil cyberpunk rpgs and you’ve got the rough outline . the only problem was this vision required a sprawling cg city populated with 3 - d buildings to keep the gameplay fresh .

in fearless he took the trouble to dry out his mouth before certain scenes in order to slur his voice , reasoning that a dry mouth was one side - effect of stress . robert benton , the director of bad company ( 1972 ) , in which bridges played a civil war draft dodger , once described shooting a scene that required bridges to pretend to skin a rabbit , the rabbit itself being out of camera - shot . bridges insisted on skinning a real rabbit , in order to capture the feeling of a knife cutting through flesh , and the expression of queasy concentration that couldn’t be faked .
bridges had misheard me – or perhaps he hadn’t . ' delight ? ’ he savoured the word for a moment , as if discovering it for the first time . ' that’s right ! delight ! ’
whether this embodiment is physical or virtual , this new designer is concerned with virtual and augmented reality , as well as the computers embedded into things and spaces . therefore , this role is expert in interface pattern languages and touch - points that have largely been considered as alternative or merely subservient to screen - based guis . this designer will borrow practices from industrial design and architecture , so that she can model interactions that are oriented in space .
lately , some of that stupid stuff has escalated into what is known as gamergate . this controversy arose after a jilted gamer wrote an online screed accusing his ex - girlfriend , a game designer , of trading sex for favorable press coverage . hordes of angry young men turned their pitchforks on women ( and feminist supporters ) throughout the gaming industry , in some cases threatening them . a bomb threat was sent to organizers of the game developers choice awards , because they planned to honor anita sarkeesian , a feminist media critic .
in the late nineties , sony’s playstation console replaced the n . e . s . as the dominant home game - playing system , and microsoft’s xbox , introduced in 2001 , is now the second - best - selling machine . but neither sony nor microsoft has had nintendo’s influence on basic game design .
after releasing a few games at warp , eno took a long break from game creation and from media appearances . he famously refused to give interviews for many years , finally breaking his silence in the aforementioned extensive talk with 1up ' s editors . by the late 2000 ' s , eno had returned to game design . he teamed with his friend , fellow indie creator kenichi nishi , to produce a series of puzzle games for the fledgling ios platform called newtonica . he later published a wii downloadable game called you , me and the cubes with nintendo , and another popular iphone game called one - dot enemies .

released in 1995 , the settlers of catan only recently caught fire in the u . s because of this enthusiasm , board game design has become high art—and big business—in germany . any game aficionado will tell you that the best - designed titles in the world come from this country . in fact , the phrase german - style game is now shorthand for a breed of tight , well - designed games that resemble monopoly the way a porsche 911 resembles a chevy cobalt .
in may , i joined some twenty thousand members of the game industry—developers , marketers , distributors , buyers , press—in downtown los angeles for the industry’s big trade show , electronic entertainment expo , or e3 . electronic arts , which had hoped in vain that wright would have the game ready for the convention , was instead offering conventioneers the opportunity to see wright demonstrate the game , inside a special spore hut that was set up next to e . a . ’s enormous pavilion .
bakhtanians replied , “you can’t , because they’re one and the same thing . this is a community that’s , you know , fifteen or twenty years old , and the sexual harassment is part of a culture , and if you remove that from the fighting - game community it’s not the fighting - game community—it’s starcraft . ”
bridges’ new film is a western , true grit , written and directed by the coen brothers , with whom he last worked in 1988 on the big lebowski . it will inevitably be described as a remake of the john wayne classic from 1969 , but bridges says that the first piece of direction the coens gave him was to forget the wayne film ; this was a return to the source material , the 1968 novel by charles portis .

ok , way back when . . . . in the 80 ' s , william bridges published this landbreaking book . i read it then and loved it and have hauled it out to read to my daughter who is now 50 . i ' ve ordered the 25th anniversary update . heck , after all that time , i can ' t wait to ready what bridges added to the update . colossal thoughts and his writing his down to earth . frankly , ivory tower psychology doesn ' t work too well when wading through life ' s transitions . bridges has written a true winner . by the way , a the original edition is still absolutely spot on after al these years .
before crazy heart bridges had been nominated four times for an oscar , but some of his best performances have gone largely unrecognised : the college professor who discovers that his next - door - neighbour is a terrorist in arlington road ; the irrepressibly optimistic car - designer preston tucker in tucker : the man and his dream ; and the architect who is vividly awakened to a sense of his own invincibility and to the beauty of life after miraculously surviving an air crash in fearless .

while these new materials force the designer to be intensely concerned with formal and spatial qualities , they belie a behind - the - scenes complexity that is also paramount . the embodied interactions designer must be comfortable wading neck - deep through datasets to mine value while protecting privacy . she must be adept at persuading disparate business stakeholders of a product’s value and able to fight for the resources required to design it well . she must have foresight to uncover the biases in algorithms and large - scale systems that can negatively impact people .

simcity was slow to catch on , but seventeen years later the game has earned the company two hundred and thirty million dollars . a sizable number of players who first became interested in urban design as a result of the game have gone on to become architects and designers , making simcity arguably the single most influential work of urban - design theory ever created .
one german genius has engineered a faster , smarter board game . * photo : baerbel schmidt * in 1991 , klaus teuber was well on his way to becoming one of the planet ' s hottest board game designers . teuber ( pronounced

) , a dental technician living with his wife and three kids in a white row house in rossdorf , germany , had created a game a few years earlier called barbarossa and the riddlemaster , a sort of ur - cranium in which players mold figures out of modeling clay while their opponents try to guess what the sculptures represent . the game was a hit , and in 1988 it won the spiel des jahres prize—german board gaming ' s highest honor .

he takes a similarly playful view of another recently completed film , tron : legacy – the sequel to the 1982 film tron , an early example of computer - generated spectacle cinema , in which bridges played a hacker who is sucked into a perilous computer game . ' we were cutting - edge when we did the first one , but that was like an old black - and - white tv thing compared to this one . ’
for the past six years , wright has been working on a new game , which will be released in 2007 . it is anticipated with something like the interest with which writers in paris in the early twenties awaited joyce’s “ulysses . ” at first , wright called the project sim everything , but a few years ago he settled on the name spore . the game draws on the theory of natural selection . it seeks to replicate algorithmically the conditions by which evolution works , and render the process as a game . conceptually , spore is radical : at a time when most game makers are offering ever more dazzling graphics and scenarios and stories , wright and his backer , electronic arts , are betting that players want to create the environments and
at the age of 61 , bridges’ rugged good looks have taken on a little more flesh , the folds under his chin – what he calls his ' goitre’ – disguised by a salt - and - pepper beard . he was casually dressed in a worn blue shirt , a bulge of stomach spilling out over the waistband of his blue jeans . he looked as if he had just walked out of his back yard , which in a sense he had ; bridges lives five minutes along the beach .
in the late nineteen - eighties , a new type of video game quietly emerged—the god game . computer animation is a brute - force project of converting graphic art into two - dimensional pixels , and , more recently , into three - dimensional polygons , the building blocks of digital pictures . but to create a truly absorbing simulation , one that offers some insight into the nature of real life , is a much more difficult proposition . the designer must play god , or at least the notion of god in boethius’ “consolation of philosophy”—a god that can anticipate the outcome of the player’s actions and yet allows the player the feeling of free will .
he has made westerns before – notably heaven’s gate and wild bill . ' did you play cowboys growing up ? ’ he slapped me on the knee and laughed . ' of course , man ! ’ he remembers when his father , the actor lloyd bridges , would be doing a western and come home with ' all that good stuff’ – chaps , sharp - shooter , waistcoats and stetsons – ' and i’d get to put on the real thing and play with my buds ! ’ he thought about this . ' and it’s always great to get up on a horse . ’
until winning the best actor oscar this year for his role as bad blake , the hard - drinking failed country star in crazy heart , bridges had enjoyed the reputation as one of hollywood’s most popular and most dependable but also most under - rated actors .
the film critic pauline kael wrote that bridges ' may be the most natural and least self - conscious screen actor that ever lived’ . but he is a man who works hard to make acting look effortless , and is painstaking in his attention to detail .
here are 18 of the most important design jobs of the future , as identified by the men and women who will no doubt do much of the hiring . most looked three to five years out , but some peered farther into the future ( see : organ designer ) .
every once in a while , he would bring the new game upstairs to test it out on his family . they would play along , but teuber could tell that the game wasn ' t working . sometimes , in the middle of a match , he would notice his youngest son , benny , reading a comic under the table . other times his wife would suddenly remember a load of laundry that needed immediate attention . after each of these sessions , teuber would haul the game back downstairs for further refinement . he repeated this process over the course of four years .
not the author of a world view ; he tailors his ideas according to the technical parameters of the simulation and the logic of games . whether the game involves fighting intergalactic battles or modelling climate change , the simulation works according to a logic of its own . wright may be the game industry’s greatest auteur , but to a large extent he has abdicated authorship of his own creation .
bridges also co - chairs the presenter programming for the biannual myth - based academic conference and performance festival , mythic journeys . his published novels include the silver crown , and the last battle , both of which are set in the werewolf : the apocalypse setting .

happier the people . wright told me , “i don’t believe any one theory of human psychology is correct . the sims just ended up being a mishmash of stuff that worked in the game . ”
wright belongs to the last generation of game designers ( and , indeed , human beings ) who grew up before personal computers and game consoles existed . he built models of things as a kid : “ships , cars , planes—i loved to do that , ” he told me . when will was ten , he built a balsa - wood replica of the flight deck on the enterprise , which won an award at a star trek convention . he was also fond of the board games made by avalon hill , such as panzerblitz , a strategy game loosely based on tank warfare on the eastern front .
cara santa maria cara santa maria is an award - winning science communicator , television personality , producer , and podcaster . cara is a correspondent on national geographic ' s “explorer” and netflix ' s “bill nye saves the world . ” she hosts the weekly science podcast “talk nerdy with cara santa maria” and cohosts the “skeptics ' guide to the universe” podcast .
teuber nailed all these traits using a series of highly orchestrated game mechanics . instead of a traditional fold - out board , for example , settlers has the 19 hexagonal tiles , each representing one of five natural resources—wooded forests , sheep - filled meadows , mountains ripe for quarrying . at the beginning of every game , they ' re arranged at random into an island . next , numbered tokens marked from 2 to 12 are placed on each tile to indicate which dice rolls will yield a given resource . because the tiles get reshuffled after every game , you get a new board every time you play .
sim designer nominated by rob girling , co - founder and principal , artefact the sim designer pulls together customer data , behavioral models , and statistical models to design simulated people that can be used to help predict future customer behavior . in this way future products , ad campaigns , software , environments , and services are extensively “experienced” by artificial sim users who give sim reviews , tweets , recommendations , and predicted user data . these simulations help drive improvements into the design of all things before the product is ever realized . but would these sim insights replace talking to real people ? i doubt it .
i guess i was lucky in that i started out when the industry was young and full of small developers doing lots of games who often had need of writers . i began in the tabletop roleplaying game field , which is very good experience ( but is not as thriving an industry as it once was ) . if you could cut your teeth on roleplaying game sourcebooks , that certainly couldn’t hurt . it hones your craft , gives you something tangible to show ( even if it’s just a pdf ) , and some of the people in a position to hire you might well play the game you wrote for .
conductor nominated by bill buxton , principal researcher , microsoft research carrying on with the musical analogy , design has typically been preoccupied with creating new instruments . however wonderful any one of those instruments might be , the true potential is only realized when they play well together–essentially as one . it is the creativity and skill of the conductor that is essential to that happening .
embodied interactions designer nominated by matt schoenholz , head of design , teague screens have demanded a lot of attention from designers over the past 30 years . after all , they have been the source of so much content and so many interactions . they still require our thoughtful attention , but we will also see the rise of software that only rarely manifests on a screen . or , perhaps it very much manifests on a screen , but the screen is an overlay on reality or it is outright virtual reality . these new modes of interaction require a new type of designer : one that is focused on embodied interactions .
he has enjoyed that rarest of things in hollywood : a long and happy marriage . he met his wife , susan , in 1974 when he was filming rancho deluxe in montana – she was working at the dude ranch where the film was shot . after three months , susan moved into the house where bridges was then living in malibu , but he continued to prevaricate over marriage . it was not until she threatened to move back to montana , telling bridges that ' my biological clock is going off’ , that he proposed to her . they finally married in 1977 .
one day teuber began tinkering with a new theme for a game : an uncharted island . in his original vision , players would slowly discover the island by flipping over tiles , then establish colonies using the indigenous natural resources . the game incorporated elements of other ideas teuber was working on , but for some reason this one seemed special .
i felt like i was discovering something rather than inventing it ,
teuber says .
her impact on technology : network engineer radia perlman helped make ethernet technology a household name . her spanning tree protocol ( stp ) made it possible to build massive networks using ethernet by creating a mesh network of layer - 2 bridges and then disabling the links that aren’t part of that tree .

viksund 27 for sale , 8 . 25m ( 27 ' 1
) , 1975
sports boats are very popular in irish marinas , on lakes , rivers and out at sea . sports boats are more high - powered than motor boats and are a great way of enjoying the thrills of water sports , whether it’s water - skiing or wake - boarding . with high performance , bold designs , refined interiors and precision engineering our used sports boats have something for all tastes . there are many different types of sports boats . some of the most popular models that we source at silverline are haines , moomba and supra .
the factory is modern and efficient - a necessity for one of norways largest supplier of leisure craft and commercial vessels . viksund is a pioneer in the frp boat industry and is one of the first frp boat companies in norway . common to all viksund boats are their fine practical and seagoing qualities - qualities which have made viksund a name to stand for safety at sea .
in the late 1980s the company was restructured after a fall in the market . new models were developed , and by the late 1990s viksund was again among norway ' s largest biggest boat building firms . since 2000 the company has focused exclusively on motor yachts ranging from 30–40 feet , including the viksund 320 , viksund 340 st cruz , and the viksund 360 st cruz .
always looking forward , erling viksund established agencies in sweden , the faeroes , greenland , england and usa in order to open up new sales areas - not only for pleasure boats , but for tough professional fishing vessels as well .
although viksund for several decades had sold boats in most corners of the world , the production facilities had been located in norway . eventually , however , globalisation combined with assistance from the norwegian foreign development agency ( norad ) , inspired viksund to establish production facilities in sri lanka , and in 1997 jostein viksund ( erling’s son ) established a separate company there called viksund asia . in 2000 viksund acquired the rights to the well known “with” hulls and set several “with” models into production . interestingly , the smallest boat - the with 10’ - became the most popular dingy in scandinavia . also the remainder of the fishing vessel production was moved to sri lanka and viksund asia now produces sjarks from 43 to 50 feet in addition to the small boat series and new model development .

the company of viksund was established in 1966 and is situated in idyllic surropundings at strusshamn , just outside bergen .
this viksund 27 has been personally photographed and viewed by fred de vos of boatshed holland . click here for contact details .
the boat can get up to 22 knoots and have a weight of 4 toons . and the hull is a viksund speciality .
the company was formed in 1966 and operated from an old farmhouse in bergen . the first viksund boat was the 25 sabbcruiser .
and this “need to be sure” was one of the basic viksund characteristics . in the many models developed and produced the following decades , safety and seaworthiness were in focus and these principles were never compromised regardless of adaptations to market preferences . the business grew rapidly in the seventies and eighties and the orange / yellow viksund boats became an established part of the coastal scenery . there were boats for professional fishing , family boats with and without sail and even flashier and speedier models for the upper end of the pleasure craft market . the viksund 31 goldfish is perhaps the single most important model in the recreational category . it was equipped with a main and a mizzen and a bowsprit was added for better balance under sail . it was reminiscent of the famous colin archers and enjoyed an immense popularity for decades . new models were introduced , but failed to replace the goldfish .

the viksund 320 is probably amongs the largest 32 feets vessels in it ' s category . with three double beds , also containing a seperate shower room .
viksunds boats appeal to people all over the world . in scandinavia , off the rough shores of greenland , on the hot coasts and inland lakes of africa and under the burning sun of the mediterranean
viksund was among the pioneers for fiberglass boatbuilding in norway , and attracted significant early sales . by the late 1960s the farmhouse faiclity was outgrown and viksund relocated to strusshaum . by the 1970s viksun was one of norway ' s largest boat - building firms , producing fishing vessels and motor yachts for export and domestic use .
the viksund company ' s web site is urltoken . when i wrote the company to inquire about the boat i had purchased , i got the following email back :
predictably , the trend for fishing vessels was toward larger and faster boats . the increased speed saved money on the trip to and from the fishing banks and increased size allowed for larger catches and enhanced onboard comfort . to meet this need , viksund developed the “speedsjark” in the early seventies and the vessel went through speed trials off røst in 1974 . the trend was accelerated when the authorities started favouring larger , more efficient ships with a bigger crew . viksund took the challenge , brought a nautical engineer into the firm and developed still larger “sjarks” .

these features were new and addressed a number of needs not met by the flashier models at the fair . the viksund 25 combi earned the “grandest boat” award from the leading norwegian boat magazine sjøsport and erling viksund signed a number of orders . with this , the “west norwegian boat” was born and production had to be moved to larger facilities in strusshamn outside bergen in order to meet demand .
after i published an article about magnus in good old boat magazine , i got a phone call from norway . the caller was erling viksund , rune ' s father , the founder of the company . he had seen the article , and wanted to have it published in norway . he was now 68 and retired - though he had actually begun a new company to distribute jostein ' s small sri lankan - built boats in europe .

this year ( 2007 ) the company is 40 years old and can look back upon a fantastic history . without erling viksund’s personality , however , much would have been different . on the one hand there is the insistence on safety , seaworthiness and functionality , and on the other there is the experimenter , the willingness to test new ideas and make them work . now erling’s grandson daniel is active in the firm . the new 320 model is just launched and the sale of its predecessor the 340 model has been excellent for several years . as the market starts to ask for boats of 40 feet or more , viksund is well positioned to give the competitors a good fight .
the hull for this type of boat was used as a motorsailer and as a fishing boat . in 1975 a norwegian explorer ( ragnar thorseth ) sailed one of the boats from norway to iceland , greenland , labrador ( baffin land ) and to new york .

erling’s son rune viksund took over as general manager of the company several years ago , and in a deliberate effort to keep his fingers off the tiller , the founder himself rigged a sjark and sailed north along the coast as he had done so many times before . this time though , the purpose was fishing and seeing old friends from the time when he listened to advice from old fishermen , or demonstrated the new models developed in part upon the local wisdom he had obtained on the previous trip . this was basic marketing and it worked - along the entire norwegian coast viksund is now an established concept and erling viksund knows a good portion of the boat owners personally .

the battle lines were drawn when a bergen newspaper printed that “plastic boats were death traps” , and it became clear that the market must be educated . other plastic boat manufacturers faced the same problem and it was not unusual for boat fair visitors to be given a sledge hammer and told to have a go at the hull . but erling viksund also wanted to prove the overall boat strength and survivability and in 1967 arranged with the norwegian broadcasting corporation to have a boat dropped off a cliff into the sea . it was a marvellous pr stunt ; the boat popped up again good as new and was subjected to the sledge hammer test while the cameras were running . ( nobody knew that erling viksund first had made a test drop , just to be sure ) .

viksund has always been quick off the mark with new ideas , and their active development of new products has constantly amazed the world with constructions which have been way ahead of their time - to the great satisfaction of the increasing number of people who enjoy life at sea .
similarly , there were only a few motor sailors on the market , and while fjord in 1978 had its ms 33 at a price of nok 280 000 , viksund had its goldfish at about nok 170 000 . moreover , the goldfish had an entrenched image as a tough motor sailor and the yellow / orange hull was identified with seaworthiness . in fact , the distinctive colour was soon being copied by competitors . when the oil crisis hit , many boat fairs were cancelled and for a while even “the sea for all” in oslo was in doubt , but it eventually was held as planned . sales were generally low - except at the viksund stand where potential buyers were milling about . a motor sailor with a small diesel engine was exactly what the market wanted . the queues were long and erling viksund signed many contracts .
2009 : the new viksund 390 st . cruze ( i will come with picture of it when the company are coming with them . ) the boat will have 3 cabins , 2 toilets , a big salon with 1 or 2 stressless chairs . i will come back on it !
in the pleasure boat market , many boat builders focussed on larger and faster models , while viksund supplied models in a variety of sizes and price classes . for instance , the viksund 660 ( a small boat that soon came to be called “the largest twenty - two footer in the world” ) had an all weather hardtop and simple , practical internal furnishings , all combined with a comfortable price . it became known as a safe and seaworthy little vessel and although more than 300 of them were produced annually for a period , it was not enough to meet demand .
erling viksund himself was onboard , welcoming visitors with weighty arguments about the seaworthy hull and extra thick laminates for the rough coastal weather in western norway . the self - bailing aft cockpit was equipped with an extra wheel for close manoeuvring and had plenty of room for fishing or fair weather recreation .
motorboats are used for the enjoyment of a whole range of activities such as fishing , swimming and water activities . there are many different types and styles of motor cruisers . some of the most popular cruiser models that we source at silverline cruisers are birchwood , galeon , haines , viksund and aquafibre .
let me tell you about one retired engineer ,
he wrote later ,
who last year sailed with his viksund 33 from bergen up the norwegian coast and all the way along to murmansk . down the old waterways to finland and home to norway over the swedish waterways .
and he sent another little poem :
the name of your boat is viksund 31 goldfish , a ketch rigged motor sailer . the boat was produced from 1971 to 1980 . i do not know exact how many of these boat it was build but i presume about 200 . approx 25 of these was exported to the us . the design was the yard ' s own .
the development of a professional fishing vessel was no accident ; a former fisherman and sailor in the norwegian merchant marine , erling viksund had a unique understanding of the needs in this particular market segment . he clearly saw that the existing fleet of mainly small and ageing wooden boats was ripe for renewal - and now he had the experience and the right hull . moreover , there was an immense market for modern fishing vessels in developing countries and while norwegian fishermen always kept an eye on the price , in developing countries , where they could barely afford the fuel , the cost of the vessel itself was of prime importance . mass production was the key if this venture were to be successful , and soon a new factory was established in harstad in northern norway with assembly line production of modern fishing vessels .
motor boats range in various sizes , usually from 25 to 45 feet ( 7 . 6 to 13 . 7 m ) in length . they are ideal for coastal cruising or navigating large rivers ( like the river shannon ) and lakes . there has being a huge growth in this type of boating in ireland . motor boats can be used for family holidays , a getaway for couples or group of friends . cruisers are fitted to the highest of standards . with excellent in built facilities they are so comfortable that they are like a home from a home and everyone enjoys spending time onboard . they are a convenient way to travel to the many towns and villages on the shoreline of the inland lakes and waterways of ireland . cruising on a motor boat is a great way of taking in the views of the beautiful irish countryside and what it has to offer both on and off shore .
and so it was at the boat fair “the sea for everyone” in oslo in 1971 ; where an entirely different kind of boat could be found , discretely placed , in a far corner of the smallest exhibition hall . everything about it was off the trend : the rugged looking hull , the light beige colour and the comfortable , standing - room wheelhouse amidships . it was the viksund 25 combi .
erling wanted me to know that of all the thousands of boats he had built , his favourite was the ms - 33 - so much so that he had gone hunting for a used one , and had recently bought solvik , a sister to magnus . he had done an upgrade similar to ours , and now proposed to sail from norway across the north sea , down the irish sea and south to portugal and possibly madeira . when i told him we were the same age , he was delighted , and sent a little poem :
the good times lasted a few years more , but when the financial bubble of the late eighties finally burst in 1988 / 89 , the pleasure boat market dried up . the entire industry struggled to survive and also viksund had problems . the concern had to go through a restructuring and several group companies were wound up . the very existence of the enterprise was threatened and the number of employees had to be reduced from 60 to 30 . as if all this was not enough , the market for small fishing vessels declined markedly and the production in northern norway was discontinued in 1990 / 91 .
a new company with the name viksund as was established , and the 350 model was soon a reality . it was a large , modern boat with excellent speed properties and it was marketed as the fjord model for export . ! 990 turned out to be a good year and new models soon followed . the 270 model was similar to the 350 but was smaller and intended for the domestic market . from 1997 the 350 model was marketed under the “st . cruz” label , and later also the 270 and its offspring the 290 in 1999 . the series was further developed and especially the 340 model sold very well . the last innovation , the 320 model , was introduced in the spring of 2007 . it accommodates an average family , is structured along modern lines and comes equipped with a deck salon and a fly bridge .
rune told me that ragnar thorseth had written a book about his voyage . after much sleuthing and pleading , i got a copy of alone across the north sea , trans . j . basil cowlishaw ( alesund , norway : nordvest informajon , 1980 ) . thorseth ' s viksund was named cling peerson , in honour of the leading norwegian emigrant to the us . his was not the ms - 33 motorsailer but the fishing boat version - and his voyage had been truly remarkable . he spent days in howling gales off greenland , and more days poking through drifting ice . at one point he ran his boat on the rocks far up an uninhabited river in baffin island . using winches , anchors and engine , he put an unbelievable strain on her to get her off . he had no choice , since the nearest human beings were perhaps 500 arctic miles away . the boat came through just fine .
