Svenska IF-båtförbundets forum

Hello

My name is Martin and I live in the Netherlands. I started sailing just over 2 years ago and I have mainly sailed on open boat on the Frisian lakes. I took a lot of lessons and sailed singlehanded within a year. I owned my own open boat, but quite recently I bought an IF-E here in the Netherlands. This boat was imported from Sweden by the company from which I subsequently bought it.
If possible I would like to find out more about the boats history, but I have little to go on (there is no identification plate for instance). What I do know is that:
- the boat still has its original off-white gel coat
- the sails carry the number 2419
- the previous owner had named the boat Amanda
- the log states the boat's name was once Olivia
- the boat is estimated as being built in 1975
- a receipt mentions Skärhamn, north of Gotenburg

Does anybody have any clues?

Try to get in contact with the previous Swedish owner. Maybe you can get contact details through the company which imported and sold the boat to you.
