Our late father built Mio but unfortunately passed away in 2020. The boat sailed just one shorter trip before that and no one has sailed the boat since then. We know that during the trip between southern Sweden and Denmark the boat encountered strong winds which partly damaged the “ribs” (battens) for the sails. The fabric for the sails is fine but the bamboo battens need to be replaced.

Mio is built after a prototype of a Bris-boat of Sven Yrvind with the same mindset concerning safety. She is a long-distance live aboard sailing boat with 2 masts, a centerboard and no cockpit on deck. She is built to be able to sail alone but two to three people can easily fit on the boat. She currently has no engine. The folding masts are in good condition.

Our father invested a lot in instruments and equipment over the years but we are not sure how up to date they are.

Location:  close to the town of Östersund, Sweden, on the shores of Sweden's fifth-largest lake, Storsjön.

From the webmaster:  On the website of Sven Yfvind, you can learn more about his Bris boat.  His philosophy is:  Simple Habits, Simple Boat. Yfvind sailed a 19-foot Bris around Cape Horn in 1980.
