I would have liked to have seen the bottom. True viking boats have a "caraway seed" shaped where there is a bit of a tunnel on each side of the keel giving them a bit more speed.

Viking ships were well able to sail to windward, like other square rigged vessels. I can't imagine why this one wouldnt too.

As interesting an accent as his boat! I'm sure he's not the type but if he did have a UA-cam channel I'd watch.
