YouTube: Swedish Wooden Sailing Dinghies

I'm a sucker for homebuilt wooden sailing dinghies. This video popped up this weekend and shows some Swedish only wooden classics, mostly single chine plywood designs. Some classes I recognize, such as the junior A kanot (canoe stern, first boat shown in the video) and the B kanot (canoe stern, the one with the mini hiking wings). I have no idea what class of boat sports the balanced jib boom or the class sporting the single trapeze.



The Google translation from Swedish says this is a sailing camp. I assume it is somewhere in the Stockholm archipeligo. All these junior sailors and not one fiberglass Opti to be seen!

From Dinghy Forum on Sailing Anarchy .com we have this quote..........

Nils Björkman in Sweden has a whole slew of youth boats. He is a Naval Architect and runs Ungdomarnas Båtbygge (The youth boat building club).
