Runius was a famous swedish yacht-designer. Together with his partner C.G. Petterson he founded the "Motorbåtbyrån" in 1923 in Stockholm, Kungsgatan 9-11. Besides his hull-designs
Runius was very well known for the large numbers of propeller-calculations.

Runius when he planed to build his own boats and no longer the Electrolux-boats.

Runius designed the following boats for Storebro:
Solö Ruff,
Vindö,
