The International Folkboat, commonly referred to as the IFboat, represents the successful fiberglass evolution of the traditional wooden Nordic Folkboat. Designed in 1967 by Tord Sundén—the same man who contributed to the original 1942 lines—the IFboat was reimagined to take full advantage of GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic) construction while maintaining the seaworthy characteristics that made its predecessor a maritime legend. Primarily manufactured by Marieholm Bruk in Sweden, the vessel was intended to be a strict onedesign racer that doubled as a capable coastal cruiser. With over 3,400 hulls produced between 1967 and 1984, it remains one of the most successful small keelboats in European history, cherished for its classic "Sframe" hull and long, integrated keel.
