Erling L. Kristofersen---info on his Oslojolle design

[OEX]

I have an Oslojolle and would love to have more info on the design---any ideas?

Cheers, Bruce

I always admired the Oslojolle, but I never sailed one. The were imported to the US in the 1950's, with a marconi jib and mainsail rig. I heard that in Norway they were commonly rigged with a lug sail.

Later they were built of FG.

good info--- Open boat and a lug rig---both of these interest me. Anyone know more?

OEX,

If you send me your mailing address I will make a photocopy of the one page bulletin that I have for the Oslojolle, and send it to you.

You wouldn't know where another one is would you?

[OEX]

No I do not know of others in the States. I got this one from Michigan about 4 years ago. I may find more in the info search and I will let you know. It is a fun rocket and good in short steep seas---on paper it might not seem it, but in action it is.

Cheers and I e-mailed you my address.

I hope my changes do not make you hate it---opening up and woodifying it, etc. I plan on adding a progress log on the WBRF site so people can see the attack first (ish) hand. Bit like this, but more open....and seating, storage, etc RAID like.
