About
Olave – 37-foot classic Furuholmen motor yacht from 1947
A unique opportunity to own a piece of Scandinavian boating history.
Olave is a 37-foot classic motor yacht, built in Oslo in 1947 according to the design of the legendary Norwegian boat designer Richard Gustav Furuholmen. An elegant and characterful wooden boat for the connoisseur who appreciates classic Scandinavian design, solid boatbuilding craftsmanship, and a truly special history.
Olave is constructed from larch on oak with mahogany and measures 11.2 meters in length and 2.9 meters in width. With her harmonious lines and classic proportions, she is a beautiful example of the Norwegian motorboat tradition from that era.
Designed by Richard G. Furuholmen
Richard Gustav Furuholmen (1887–1963) is regarded as one of Norway's most significant motorboat designers. His designs are known for their elegant lines, good proportions, and unmistakable classic Scandinavian expression.
Several of Olave's sister ships and related Furuholmen designs continue to sail in the Norwegian fjords, and today these boats have their own enthusiast community around the Furuholmen Motor Yacht Club.
Thus, Olave is not just a classic wooden boat but part of a very special Norwegian design and boatbuilding tradition.
Completely renovated with respect for the original
From 2009 to 2013, Olave underwent an extensive total renovation, where the owners placed great emphasis on restoring the boat to its rightful form with respect for the original design and craftsmanship.
The ambition level was high. To ensure that the restoration was carried out as accurately as possible, the owners traveled to Oslo and tracked down the original hull drawings at the Norwegian Maritime Museum. These served as the foundation for the work to revive this classic motor yacht.
The result speaks for itself.
In 2013, the owners received the prestigious honor “Skruen” from the Danish Association for Older Pleasure Craft (DFÆL) in recognition of their successful restoration.
6-cylinder Westerbeke diesel engine
Olave is powered by a Westerbeke 108 C, a 6-cylinder diesel engine producing 108 horsepower, which runs impeccably.
The engine has a displacement of 4.05 liters and delivers a maximum torque of 192 lbs-ft at 1,830 RPM. The classic motor yacht is thus equipped with solid propulsion that suits her size and character well.
To make handling in port easier, the boat is also equipped with a new bow thruster.
A motor yacht with history and soul
Here you have a classic Furuholmen design from 1947, built from beautiful traditional materials and later restored based on the boat's original drawings. The fact that this restoration was subsequently honored with “Skruen” underscores the respect and care that has gone into preserving this vessel.
It is the combination of history, Scandinavian design, classic boatbuilding craftsmanship, and documented extensive restoration that makes Olave something truly special.
A rare opportunity to take over an award-winning classic motor yacht and continue Olave's legacy.
