FOR SALE – SWE128 – CHISKA

Chiska is a unpolished diamond, she was designed  by Jorgen Wallin with a big help from Sven Olof Ridder the designer of WOODOO.

She has a measurement certificate telling you she is a all-round boat with the right stern and bow angles from L to L1 , Chiska is designed as a Six Meter, Woodoo was a 12 meter designed for Fremantle , so she has a normal width but still having the famous Ridder keel making a lot of power upwind .

Chiska of course needs some updates to compete in Finland but not very many to be in the top and it could be done at my yard in Stockholm

The asking price for Chiska is 25.000 euro complete with sails from Doyle (old but not very used ), mast, boom, spinpole
