Korybant was built in Sweden in 1937-1938 (they didn’t rush things in those days), to the rules of the International 30 square metre class. The 30s were planned to be racing boats which could be cruised by a small crew, mostly just for the weekend.
We’ve owned her since 1984, originally on the East coast of the UK, mainly sailing out of Harwich harbour and across the North Sea to the Netherlands, but in 1998 we decided to take her back to Sweden, and then on to Finland, to see the waters she was built for. We thought this would just be for 3-4 years, but she’s still in the Baltic, because these are the waters that suit her (and us) best.
Korybant moved from Finland back to Sweden in 2024 and will spend winters near Stockholm. This website was originally built by me (David Osborne) as a way to find crew, but I’ve now retired and handed Korybant over to my daughter and her husband, who are happy to sail on their own.
We’re no longer looking for crew, but this site will continue with a history and details of Korybant. Check the Blog for recent updates.
