This is an interesting complement to the Gerhard R.0nne story in WoodenBoat No. 248. When searching for a photo album on my bookshelf, I accidentally found an old yearbook from Svenska Kryssarklubben (the Swedish Cruising Club) from 1925, which I inherited from my father. With curiosity I began looking through the book and found a long article (32 pages) that was in fact a logbook from a long cruise made by Gerhard R.0nne from Denmark via Sweden into the Norwegian fjord archipelago as far as the famous Sog-nefjord, and then back again to Denmark. The boat he sailed was RUNA V. According to the text, RUNA V was a bigger boat than what is described under the sketch in the WoodenBoat article; she is more like RUNA Ⅱ.
