Pekko reports: The boat still exists, after its restoration it had not sailed much and has been on land for long time.
It is now for sale and would be fine sailing yacht with reasonable amount of work (mainly new deck) and a new spar.

Glad to hear that the case is solved. Wrong assumptions are part of adding notes until the full stories are found and made known. Once I have time to scan the Lloyd's Register file containing the apparantly wrong "steel reference", it will be added in Documents.

The hitory of the boat on Orust is not finally reconfirmed. So far believed to be L-6 originally, all info received so far indicate she is originally L-13; hence images + location info on S-61 are placed with this boat.
