    Got this Ski breeze sailboat as my first to learn in.
    Built in sweden between 1957-65.
    5,6x1,8m 340kg displacement.
    Only done 5 short trips yet, but it is very addicting.
    Unusual boat and hard to find anything on the web about it.
    Anyone having any experience with such a boat?

    Welcome to the forum

    The sailing bug bites again.
    Pretty little craft.
    Looks very standard for 60's dinghy.
    Quite stable and capable of a bit of speed if only loaded with a lunch basket and partner.

    On the bigger and heavier side for the type though I would think.
    The double rudders sets it apart as well.
    But I agree it is probably fairly typical.

    That’s a cool little boat. They don’t pop up often, even here in Scandinavia. Post some photos when you can — would love to see it under sail!

    With the centerboard up, there is no need for deep waters.
