Sandefjord style snekke in Tórshavn

This boat is registered in Tórshavn. But by the design, I feel confident that it is built not very far from Sandefjord in Vestfold, Norway. The superstructure is slightly too tall to my eye - typical of Sandefjord.
I don't know how old a tradition should be to qualify for the traditional wooden boats group? And while this certainly is Nordic design, it is not part of the Scandinavian Design movement from the 1950ies.
