We also have difficulties with our new website www.ifboat.uk which we registered with 123Reg . We will probably move it to another host. We have posted it in honour of the 25th anniversary of the UK IF-Boat Association, please let me know if you have any suggestions or find any errors.

Please can you translate into English "Förliksrep eller förlikstravare och underliksrep ska vara i rundhultens likrännor.

As far as I am informed, it is not possible to buy a new 2-stroke petrol engine of the "old normal" design (carbourator and no pistons) any more in Scandinavia due to emmission rules.

Only a small comment to the required power: I think that more than 10 hp is not reasonable. According to my opinion 5 hp is enough. I used 5 hp outboard engine. Later I changed to 8 hp outboard, but I run it at halve the power with the advantage that it is not so noisy. You can look at this engine ...

I am interested in the weight of my IF boat. Reg no 2630. What is the difference in overall weight of one fitted with an inboard engine and one without? I had a volvo MD1B probably fitted as original equipment in 1976 when boat was built by Marieholms Bruk. The basic information given is Model ...

I am very interested to hear from anyone who is racing in a mixed fleet of standard Marieholm IF boats some with Outboard(OB) and others with Inboard (IB) engined boats (possibly also Marieholm 26's also IB). If so do you have a handicap system ? PY or equivalent ? What are the relative handicaps ...
