These designs are well know in Tasmanian maritime circles as reliable and dependable sea going vessels which have been used mainly as commercial vessels (Police, Ports, Fishing and the like) and the Norseman III was built to survey and was kept in survey until about 4 years ago (2022) as the owners no longer felt it necessary.

From its warm teak decks in the cockpit to its proven offshore performance, NORSEMAN III is a standout example of the Channel Craft Motor Cruisers.
