- 5.5 F-20 / possibly original S-28 - 01.05.2008 by Kaspar Stubenrauch
The loop is closing: The French register stated for F-20: "Wasa?". Assumption: She is original S-28, built 1959, a boat which is currently for sale in France.
5.5 F-20 "Vega" / an original or alias - 01.05.2008 by Kaspar Stubenrauch
For "Vega", a list from the early 60's is stating a building year of 1961; "Sté. Copérative de Stockholm", no further trace which yard that might be and whether she is original or alias.
