The International Folkboat, commonly referred to as the IF-boat, 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 IF-boat 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 one-design 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 "S-frame" hull and long, integrated keel.
