Hear, hear!
My old JR friend, Victor Winterthun has decided it is time to swallow the anchor. He has therefore put his junk-rigged IW31 for sale. See ad below:

Her cambered panel sail has been constructed by Sebastian Hentschel’s workshop, Tunchwerkstatt, If it is as well made as Sebastian’s own sails on Peregrine, it is no doubt good. Victor’s rig is in sail away conditions.
However, the interior is far from ready, and the old inboard diesel has been replaced with a new 6hp 4-stroke Tohatsu plus (optional) an electric motor.
The IW-hull itself, designed by Sparkman & Stephens, and built in Sweden, is a great cruising design (3.6 ton disp).
Victor lives at Stord, about 100km north of Stavanger, Norway.
You can contact him via e-mail: sailor@winterthun.net
or via telephone (landline) : +47 5341 5740 or mobile phone: +47 9751 6065
If you prefer to do some interior carpentry instead of a full JR conversion job, you could hardly get a finer JR sloop at that price; 35.000NOK (=4.177EUR, 3.302GBP or 5.654USD) - without stealing it!
Cheers, Arne
