Great photos. As this is also a rare model, I was wondering if I could get permission to use one of them on my web site.
It would appear on this page: OS19 (OCKELBO) sailboat specifications and details on sailboatdata.com
I will provide any kind of attribution you wish.

Hi Proxor,

Congratulations on the boat acquisition. And thanks for the great pictures.

The Ockelbo OS 19 is a close sibling to our boat (Sandpiper 565) as well as the english Sailfish - same hull and sailplan, basically, on all 3- but the Ockelbo has a fixed fin-keel whereas the Sandpiper has a vertically retracting weighted keel. The boat designer (Leonardo da Costa) told us that the OS 19 points the best, in his opinion.

Tommo, the jib furler looks the same as ours, which is a simple reel attached to a genoa with a wire in the luff, and a swivel up top. It provides furling, but not reefing, since there's no rigid foil on the luff.

Got the pushpit rail thing mounted and another sunwind solar panel, so got 2x30w=60w.
