Fritz Sjöqvist, son of Johan (1852-1923) and twin brother of [Arvid Sjöqvist], both well-known architects, was a civil engineer. He served in the military, reaching the rank of a captain. On one of his various trips to the USA he married the San Francisco-born Edith Augusta Brandt in 1915. In 1921, the family immigrated to the USA but later returned. Their only son was killed in the Winter War, aged 22.
Together with his twin brother Arvid, Fritz was a member of the crew of the KSSS 1912, named after his club, the Royal Swedish Sailing Society (Kungliga Svenska Segel Sällskapet). The boat scored no points in the 8-metre class at the 1912 Olympic Games, placing sixth of seven yachts in both races.
