new guy here. i am in desparate need of anyone who can email me pictures of a havsfidra model by fisksatra from sweden.

I have a 1970 Havsfidra with 7hp Volvo Penta, I will look through photo's taken before I put it in the the water this spring.

Any particular part of the boat you are interested in.

I also have a copy of the Volvo Penta manual and drawings and sections of the boat.

basically, all i have is a hull, a big box o' parts, mast, boom and rudder.
i haven't been able to find too much on the net that provides the pix a simpleton like me needs.
some stuff i can figure out, others--- needs an educated guess.

so, anything you could provide, would be great. hull layout, rigging, interior layout and anything that shows how you may have done to the boat to fit your purposes.

The Havsfidra a Baltic Cruiser was made as a 6m (20ft) and as Storfidra 23.4m (26ft) by Fisksatra in Sweden, based on a design from the Lyneas Shipyard in Denmark. The Havsfidra was imported to the US in the early 1970's and stopped production in the early 1980's. The Danish version the Midget is still in production as 26ft and 31 ft (broker global-yachts.co.uk ).

In the late 1960's the Havsfidra 20 competed in Denmark to Greenland races.

Good sources for information;
havsfidra.net (Finland and Sweden, has not been up dated for several years)
midgetclub.com (Netherland, updated each month)
nordicaboats.com (Canada, updated most months)

I will check my photo files and send some to your e-mail address this week.

The is an ocean crossing boat but with only 20 ft I am not skilled or foolish enough to try open ocean sailing.

The hull number is located under the sole embossed in the fiberglass over the ballast. A lifting ring is secured to the ballast at the boat center of gravity, with a capped hole in the coach roof for single point crane lifting.

Make sure you have clear title before dropping a ton of money into this very well balanced hole in the water.

[Bob,

The boat you have is not by any chance "Mian" ?.I have been looking to purchase one of these for some time now but could never find one.The only havsfidra I ever came across on the Western side of the Atlantic was Mian who was owned by Ian Major in St Maarten in the caribbean which I sailed on frequently.One hell of a little boat.
