Hull: Long keel w/trans. hung rudder
Folkboat style
This same yacht, but with a diesel inboard, was called the BUCCANEER 245. It is thought that the hull for the BUCCANEER 200, 210, 240, and 245 all derive from the COLUMBIA T-23.
The number of windows (above and below the sheer line) doesn’t appear to always be consistent for a particular model.

I: 30.10′ / 9.17m

P: 26.30′ / 8.02m

Design thought to be based on the NORDICA 20 though built from different tooling.
The HALMAN 21, introduced in 1988, is similar but with a bowsprit.

Although similar, the INTERNATIONAL FOLKBOAT is not part of the NORDIC FOLKBOAT class since it does not have the ‘clinker built’ hull and was designed for fiberglass construction.
First constructed in 1967 by Tord Sundén, it was accepted as one design class by Svenska Seglarförbundet.
Most INTERNATIONAL FOLKBOATS have been built by Marieholms Bruk in Småland (SWE). A current builder (2020) is Seacamper (GER). Boats have also been manufactured on license, in Australia and the UK.
More than 2220 have been built in Sweden alone.
Specs are from a builder’s brochure.
