Introduction to Saaremaa and Lindvart OÜ:
Saaremaa, the fourth largest island in the Baltic Sea, is renowned for its rich maritime heritage and traditional craftsmanship. The island is home to descendants of Vikings and is known for its unique cultural elements such as archaic villages, castles, and boat craftsmanship. Lindvart OÜ, a company rooted in these traditions, was established in 1993 by Edgar Kana and later taken over by his son Kristjan Kana in 2005.

Boatbuilding Tradition:
The boatbuilding tradition in Saaremaa is a craft passed down through generations. The skills and secrets of this trade are closely guarded and shared only within families. Lindvart OÜ embodies this tradition, combining it with modern engineering knowledge gained from experiences in Finland.
