5.5 K-12 sold to France / Did she become F-39?
19-02-2017
by Kaspar Stubenrauch, 19-02-2017
In the search for the history of FRA 39, an earlier assumption that she had been I-39 originally, has been dropped. A viable connection can be, that FRA 39 was K-12. Boat data will be compared and additional material searched for, to have a final confirmation.
In the meantime, FRA 39 data & images will be shown here, as preliminary entries only.
5.5 K-12

The connection to Z-86 does not apply, as information has appeared, that Robin Aisher had his 1964 Olympic boat built in Svineviken, while the boat later sailing as Z-86 was accocding to its measuring certificate built at Arendal.
The boatyard for K-12, commonly known as Svinevikens Båtvarv, was registered as Bröderna Karlsson & Söner. The contact at the yard for Robin Aisher was Otto Arvidsson.
For now, the search for the location of K-12 and its later sailnumber(s) is still on.
5.5 K-12 / Could she have become Z-86?
20-02-2010
by Kaspar Stubenrauch, 20-02-2010
As F-24 does not seem to be this boat, could K-12 have foudn its way to Switzerland, to become Z-86 there?
