Here is this beautiful beginner's boat for sale. It could be sailed this season. Rig it up and sail away. In the coming winter season, the boat would certainly appreciate some love to become the white swan in the harbour again. With a bit of craftsmanship, it's not magic.
History of the IF boat
International and Nordic Folkboat
The IF boat was designed in 1966 by Tord Sundén, who had already been involved in designing the Nordic Folkboat in 1942. It was originally called "International Folkboat", but was not allowed to keep this name because it was not registered as an international class, but only as a Swedish and later also Danish national class.
The IF boat is based on the design of the Nordic Folkboat. Compared to this, it was given a higher freeboard, and the transom and stem were slightly modified. The superstructure was extended in front of the mast to provide more space below deck. Because a GRP hull is lighter than the wooden hull of the Nordic Folkboat, the keel weight and thus the sail area could be increased. The sail carrying capacity is 3.95. To improve sea safety, the boat was equipped with a self-draining cockpit.
Motor
Yamaha 6 DM / 6H8 L
The boat is powered by an 8hp outboard. Aft of the cockpit on the IF boat is a forecastle. On many boats, this is also where the engine shaft for the outboard motor is located. In this example, the shaft was laminated and the engine mounted on rails at the stern.
