Re: My new IF Boat!
Yes I have been a SAAB enthusiast for over fourty years. Owning 36 including a Sonett, Two Strokes 96's, and each of the rest of the range. Like the IF Boat they were superbly engineered. I have travelled to Trollhatten to the SAAB museum a few times and discovered the west coast of Sweden from Goth...

Re: My new IF Boat!
I have the windows out to re seal, I have to re seal the stantions and genoa track etc to stop leaks. I need to put the little doors in as I have already varnished all the woodwork and I have polished the hull and decks. All the rigging has been washed and the sails cleaned. I need to service the en...

Re: Setting the anchor from the cockpit!
Interesting replies. Yes anchoring around the UK is very common. I anchor most times I go out. The norm is to carry 50m minimum of rode. For an IF Boat chain size would be 6mm to 8mm then 12mm anchorplaite rope. Most of the anchor guides suggest 8-10KG anchors with a 5:1 scope to 8:1 scope for windy...

Setting the anchor from the cockpit!
I have read somewhere that the practice for deploying your anchor on an IF Boat is from the stern/cockpit! I have done this in the past on a Drascombe 22' but was wondering if there are any tips for an IF Boat or new ideas in technique. I also now have stantions that get in the way! I am about to bu...

Sealing deck to hull!
What do you use to seal the deck to hull on the outer lip? I presume you cannot get leaks from this area when the boat is upright just from rain as the deck lips over the hull. Leaks I should think can only happen with the deck submerged in the water when sailing at an angle? Just trying to work out...

Window seal replacement!
Can you buy new window seals or a good alternative? I believe there are two types of frame, I presume mine has the later type with grooves as it was made in 1979. Many thanks.

Re: Lowering and raising a mast!
Thanks Curand, stupidly, some how I missed your advice for also having lines running up the mast to support it. The mast swung sideways, snapped the base plate and came crashing down. Fortunately my wife and kids who were assisting did not get hurt and the base plate is an easy replacement. It could...
