Design 1899 I W 31 Class



This sweet looking design was built as a production model for the I. W. Varvet AB boatyard of Henan, Sweden, which is located on the island of Orust, north of Goteborg. This community can trace their boatbuilding roots back to the time of Viking ships.


It is the first of the designs created for Varvet and a fairly early fiberglass production model and was highly successful, with over 350 units produced, starting around 1969. She is designed as an I.O.R. ocean racing (1/2 tonner) yacht but also for family cruising.


Here are the plans.
