Sweden Yacht

Just finished an extensive Re-Fit that was managed by the Owner, a Naval Architect. This Sweden Yacht 50 - European model - is in excellent condition and is located in central Ipswich, Suffolk, England, where one of Nicolle Associates' brokers lives on site. Sweden Yachts are renowned for making well-built cruiser racers with excellent seaworthiness.   Designed and built to Lloyd's Specification, this Sweden 50 has three double sleeping cabins, plus the sofa/pilot berth specification in the main cabin, plus an optional full-length berth in one of the aft cabins thus eight adult berths in total and all with lee cloths.

There is a large central main saloon with well-planned galley and dining area for eight on the port side and the navigation and command console on the starboard side (plus the sofa which can become the pilot berth).   This Sweden 50 benefits from being owned by a fastidious Naval Architect who has master-minded an excellent renovation over the last 3 years that includes:

news standing rigging,

new running rigging;

new main sail and a new Yankee sail (a high-clew Genoa for serious off-shore cruising);

new 110hp engine (replacing the original 65hp engine) and new: gearbox, drive-shaft and 4 bladed feathering propeller  - all with about 25 hours use; 

(Note: the higher-power engine became standard from 1992 onwards which helps for transit passages under power),

new Flexiteek decking (except the cockpit and its surrounding area);

new skin fittings below the water-line; 

twelve new keel-bolts for the 6.5 ton wing-design keel that helps to maximise access to shoal areas and sheltered marinas; 

new hatches;

new port-lights; 

some new navigation equipment;

plus many detailed improvements inside the cabins such as new: curtains, taps, carpets, cushions, etc. Sweden Yachts only made 19 of these 50-footers and they have an enviable reputation amongst knowledgeable off-shore sailors.
