Iorana was constructed of wood by Abeking & Rasmussen of Germany. She was launched in 1969. She's a beauty. It's too bad this is the only image we possess of her. This is a powerful boat. Just look at her ballast to displacement ratio, her deep draft and large amount of sail area.
Of note, here we have an early example of the installation of a Hundested controllable pitch propeller.
The following are some designer's remarks from Rod Stephens. Please double click for zoom.
Here are the plans.
