About the International 1006

Danish designer Arne Borghegn created this capable 33-foot cruiser-racer in 1977, with production handled by Ol Boats in Denmark. Only 40 hulls were built during the model's run, making the International 1006 a relatively rare find on today's market. The boat's moderate proportions and fin keel with spade rudder configuration deliver a balanced blend of performance and comfort. With a displacement of 7,385 pounds and substantial ballast of 3,307 pounds, she offers reassuring stability for coastal and offshore passages. The fractional sloop rig provides good sail handling characteristics and versatility across varying wind conditions. Her comfort ratio of 23.72 places her firmly in swift cruiser territory, suggesting she'll move well in light airs while maintaining reasonable motion at sea. The capsize screening formula of 1.67 indicates good offshore capability, making her suitable for extended coastal cruising and ocean passages with proper preparation. Built in fiberglass with traditional Scandinavian attention to detail, the 1006 represents solid European craftsmanship from an era when builders emphasized seaworthiness over volume. Her 28.21-foot waterline and hull speed of 7.12 knots suggest respectable passage-making ability, while the moderate beam of 8.10 feet keeps her well-proportioned and seakindly.
