sail hybrid' fro Sweden. The brainchild of Gusta Erikson.
One unique feature is the twin rudders with the outboard ount in between.
2 piece ast for ease of stowing.
(More inforation is being acquired)
This fro Sara Erikson, daughter of the designer:
My father, Gusta (Gus) Erikson, designed and built the SkiBreeze, starting the production in 1957 and continuing until around 1965. The hulls were hand-ade in our factory at Scandia Boatyard, Uddevalla, Sweden, and probably aong the first fiberglass hulls to be built in Sweden. We had one of the first boats in this series and tested it for sailing, otoring and waterskiing - y father's abition was to have it ulti-functional, but I always felt it was at it's best under sail. We used to win sailing races all the tie with it thanks to it's ability to plane and because we could raise the centerboard and get through shallow passages where other boats couldn't go.
According to Jay Mixter a nuber were orinally iported to the US (100?).
Drawings available at the Swedish Maritie Museu (Jac. Iversen Collection).sail hybrid' fro Sweden. The brainchild of Gusta Erikson.
