The search results provide good information for all sections, especially:
- Designer Philosophy: Rolf Magnusson aimed for easy-sailing, fast family boats with well-thought-out layouts, prioritizing sailing qualities over measurement rules.
- Construction: Hull and deck are sandwich construction with balsa core, and floor timbers are reinforced plastic, which improves the indoor climate.
- Sailing Performance: Described as "easy to sail and fast, yet spacious and safe." Fin keel provides splendid maneuverability.
- Accommodations: Mahogany interior, similar to many other boats. Well-thought-out interior layout. Large cockpit for comfortable seating, with all halyards led back.
- Owner Perspectives: Owners praise ease of sailing and speed. Forum discussions exist, but specific common problems/strengths are not explicitly detailed in the snippets, beyond the general positive attributes. Some owners might have concerns about battery placement.
I have enough information to proceed with generating the article.
Here's a breakdown of how the information will be used for each section:
Introduction:
- Essence: Easy to sail, fast, safe, spacious, comfortable cruiser.
- Designer: Rolf Magnusson
- Builder: Contrast Marine (Contrastbåtar AB)
- Production: Started 1979, around 240 units built.
History and Design:
- Creation Narrative: Prototype sailed in 1978, production started in 1979.
- Designer Philosophy: Rolf Magnusson's vision for easy-sailing, fast family boats, prioritizing sailing qualities over measurement rules.
- Builder Ethos: Robust construction, intelligent design, comfortable cruising capabilities, sandwich construction with balsa core, reinforced plastic for floor timbers.
- Variations: No significant production variations (MkI/MkII, tall rig/standard rig) explicitly mentioned in the search results. I will omit this if no info.
Sailing Performance and Handling:
- SA/D (17.31): Moderate light-air performance.
- B/D (0.457): High stiffness and stability.
- D/L (406.34): Heavy, traditional cruiser.
- Anecdotal Descriptions: "Easy to sail and fast, yet spacious and safe." "Splendid maneuverability" due to fin keel.
Accommodations and Layout:
- Interior Arrangement: Mahogany interior. Well-thought-out layout.
- Cockpit: Large and comfortable, with halyards led back.
- Construction benefit: Sandwich construction improves indoor climate.
- Max Headroom: Not available in or search. I'll omit if no info.
Owner's Perspectives:
- Strengths: Owners praise its easy sailing and speed, solid construction, and comfortable motion (implied by design philosophy and construction).
- Weaknesses/Issues: A forum discussion about battery bank solutions suggests some owners consider moving batteries forward to address a "stern-heavy" feel, but it's not a widely reported "problem." No other common problems are explicitly mentioned in the snippets. I will mention the battery discussion cautiously.
I will now generate the article.
