CUTTLEFISH
CUTTLEFISH is one of 16 Viking 23s made in Betina, Croatia in the early 60’s. There are only 3 left of the original 16 boats. One is mine, one is in Connecticut, and was displayed at the wooden boat show in Mystic several years ago. I am also interested in hearing from anyone who either owned one or has any history with these boats. The main objective when I purchased her over 2 years ago was to get her in the water. She had been out for over 6 years. CUTTLEFISH is a joy to own and work on. I have learned so much over the last two years and learning new techniques all the time, mostly out of desperation.
