In June 1941, the German occupant confiscated many of the finest yachts in the Oslo fjord.
Noreg III was assigned to Reichkommisar Josef Terboven. After the war, Crown Prince Olav
sailed her and she obtained many good rankings. Olav is entered as the owner in the Royal
Norwegian Yacht Club's (RNYC) year-books for 1947 and 1949. In RNYC's 1951 yearbook,
the merchant Carsten Larsen in Ålesund is entered as the owner.
In the book about the Ålesund Yacht Club’s 75th anniversary, it says that she was sold in
1952, but not to whom and to where. It is not to be found in any more RNYC registers. In
the late 1950’s she was sold to USA under the name Amigo. I found her in the 1964
American Lloyd's where she is shown as being in Larchmont Long Island and owned by
Garald W. Ford
She was brought back to Europe by a young Danish boatbuilder.
