Sensa

Built in 1937 by Kungsors Boatyard after a 1936 design of Erik Nilsson, Sensa was commissioned by the Royal Swedish Sailing Association (RSSS) as the 1937 prize draw to promote the International 5 Metre class.

Sensa is the original name given to her by Konsol John E Johnson at her launch but within her first year she changed hands and was renamed 'Sunny', which she kept until 1948.

Over the past sixty-five years Sensa has had no less than fifteen different owners and nearly as many names, including 'Sjosvala', 'Indra', 'Naviculus' and 'Daphne'! In 1995 Sven-Ake Lagerkvist restored her and registered her as Sensa once again.
