Hi Pascal,
There was an original boat built by Mads Illum Petersen, owner of the boatyard in Middelfart (Denmark) from 1855-1907. This boat is now stored at the Fishing and Maritime Museum at Esbjerg and was measured for building a replica. A friend of mine was involved in the boatbuilding process and I got a printout of the basic measurements. Together with him I could sail the replica in Middelfart and have a closer look at the sails and lines and the characteristics of the boat. I took all that as a starting point to develop a digital lapstrake plywood design with seven instead of nine planks and a daggerboard. The result is STRYNÖ. I know the book of Christian Nielsen, but unfortunately only my brother owns one, so at the moment I am not sure which design out of the book would be closest to what I built.

Did you derive STRYNØ design from one of the three Smakkejollen described in Christian Nielsen’s Wooden Boat Designs: Classic Danish Boats measured and described – or is she based on another plan?
