The Marieholm 261 represents the final evolution of the traditional longkeel concept championed by the legendary Swedish designer Tord Sundén. Introduced in the early 1980s as a successor to the highly successful Marieholm 26, the 261 was designed to offer more interior volume and refined deck ergonomics while retaining the seaworthiness that defined the International Folkboat lineage. Built at the Marieholm Bruk shipyard in Sweden, the 261 arrived at a transition point in naval architecture, maintaining a narrow beam and heavy ballast ratio even as the industry began moving toward wider, flatter hulls. This model is often considered the "luxury" variant of the Marieholm small cruiser line, featuring a higher level of interior finish and a more modern selfdraining cockpit compared to its predecessors.
