Building costs and time frame
The project is seeking funding from investors and others interested in building Iceland Knarr the first authentic full-scale replica of the Hedeby 3 Knarr the largest merchant ship of the Viking Age that has been discovered so far, and after that the sailing of the ship from Germany to Iceland.
The project can be expected to be of great interest to people who have an interest in the Viking Age. The project will start as soon as the funding is available. The estimated building time is 1 - 2 years from the day the actual building starts. The ship will be built in Hedeby, Germany.
The estimated costs for building the full-scale replica Knarr including wages, materials, and other costs can be made available on request. The ship will be built under Gunnar Marel Eggertsson's supervision using ancient methods with external help when needed.
The Hedeby 3 Knarr was probably built in Hedeby based on experts' conclusions. Because of this Gunnar Marel wants to build the Iceland Knarr Viking ship on the same land in Hedeby using a temporary work shelter for the build.
Regarding costs for sailing the replica Knarr from Germany to Iceland, there are different ways that these costs can be met for example with sponsoring and volunteer personnel involved in the sailing of the ship. The estimated sailing time from Germany to Iceland can be from 2 - 4 weeks depending on the weather and stops on the way.
