Aage Nielsen Double Ended Ketch
K Aage Nielsen’s manic attention to detail extended to his demanding the best from his builders. He possessed that rare combination of talents claimed by only a few designers – that he himself could build anything he designed. With exquisite hull shapes and interior arrangements his Double Enders were in a sense his trademark and NORMA OF MINOT’S LIGHT typifies this. It was for these reasons Olin Stephens considered that if he were to have anyone design him a yacht; Aage Nielsen would be his first choice. NORMA is an incredibly well proven sea boat and a natural choice for the design enthusiast. K Aage Nielsen’s manic attention to detail extended to his demanding the best from his builders.
