Snipa no. 9
Designed by Bertil Andersson
All that is recorded of this boat is that she came from Mölle, at the tip of the Kullaberg peninsula in Skåne; her builder and age are unknown. She was measured there in October 1979.
The Skånesnipa is one of several Swedish double-enders that, despite being built light for sheltered water, earned their living on the open sea, alongside the snipor of Öland and Gotland, while the lakes had their own Vänersnipa and Vättersnipa. This one is 5.39 m by 1.72 m. The drawing runs to three 1:10 sheets, construction, frames and lines, and like most of the Kullabygden snipor in the series it has no surviving rig to record.
