Owner advice: Where to put the anchor?
A close look at a topic often forgotten by yards: Anchor storage and handling, guiding chain or rope. KIS versus complex. Pros and cons windlass, weight issues

I have a friend with a Wasa 42 for sale in the Mediterranean. Email me if interested [email protected]. I also do a new production of the Swede 55, now called Swede 52 (ft).

Thank you for sharing the pictures Ulf. Yes, they are a sad sight but can be restored and made new. As the new owner of them, I did an inventory of the molds together with Thomas Blixt in 2020 not so long before you took these pictures and we have a renovation plan for them at our new shipyard (not Rosättra). The renovation will start the moment we have an order for a new Swede 52 (previously called Swede 55 and 75. The new Swede 52 has a new modern deck layout and interior layout as well as an updated underwater body and rig. See attached image of the drawing.
Best regards,
Jonas

Dangerous... wish you hadn't shared that! Must resist. Dread to think what MDL charges for a 55'er in Hamble.

Yachting advice: 75 square metre boat Gustaf
This almost 18-metre long daysailer is so antiquated that at first glance it appears to be a coloured black-and-white foto of times gone by. However, the boat is real and not restored, a new construction from 2017. The sail geometry is also wonderfully from outdated. Three quarters of Gustaf's...

The story of a Judel/Vrolijk 30 sqm boat design in the eighties. Was it good at all and why it was disputed at the Federal Supreme Court in Germany.

What a toy - Swedesail
Chesnut brown mahogany, copper coloured underwater body, inclined stern. Stretched keel and an effective rudder blade. A serious spar on top. This boat was the nightmare of the square metre boat sailors at Lake Constance in the eighties in the first version. Contra as a modern 30 sqm boat At...

A Squaremeter sailboat, is in Swedish called "Skärgårdskryssare" and is a constructionclass. You may ONLY refer to this name if your boat has a valid meausuring certificate. Official homepage of the class: http://www.sskf.se/Simple question, answer here:
What is a Squaremetre boat? - Swedesail
Anything flat-hulled with long overhangs, made of wood, ideally with a glossy finish? This is how a sailor usually answers this question. In principle, that's true, since the open design class launched in 1908 for racing in the Stockholm archipelago initially left a lot of freedom. Only the sail...
Sounds like heresy to me.
