Default Catching Up With Nor-Tech’s Trond Schou

“I think people wanted boats that made more sense economically, boats that were reliable and dependable."—Trond Schou, https://speedonthewater.com/in-the-n...-s-trond-schou.

Remember Perfect Storm, Bob Christie's 36-foot Nor-Tech catamaran? Between its own lines and paint job, that boat was a knockout—maybe the prettiest cat Nor-Tech ever built.

Always liked Nor-Tech (and Trond & Nils). Always have enjoyed all the different styles they come out with. Some great memories of boating, usually with you or Jason, Matt - Out on Red's 80, shooting the first Monte Carlo, running to KW on a brand new 390, etc.

No mention of Sobo's push to the CC's eh? There's a pretty good back story there But I get it.

The back story has been told, especially on speedonthewater.com, many times and Terry's push and contributions have been noted and recognized. Oddly enough, I had never interviewed Mr. Schou on the subject. Now I have.

But in case you were worried, here you go, https://speedonthewater.com/matt-hid...-is-sobos-baby. From 2009.

I just LOVE that story is all. It's like an everyguy's success story. It's a feel-good story. It's just a GREAT story.
