Designed for serious sailing, the traditional chart table is fully equipped with one of the Simrad chart plotters, VHF and HF Radios, switchboard, and battery monitors. Moving through the interior, aside from the exceptional overall condition, the attention to detail of the Swedish quality, style, and function really is superb. The lighting is full of charm, with ample lockers being backlit, the 6'6" headroom provides a truly spacious feel, and the satin-finished mahogany looks like it has freshly come out of a showroom, rather than being in a yacht that has sailed halfway around the world!

Outside, it is immediately clear that this is a yacht designed to look after her crew in any conditions. The cockpit is deep, safe, and completely protected with the HR windscreen, plus a full bimini with roll-away clears.

This vessel is superbly set up for easy single-handed sailing thanks to the in-mast furling, NEW furling headsail, NEW bow thruster, autopilot plus wind vane steering systems, and a complete array of quality electronics at the pedestal. The sailing performance is sure to impress even the most seasoned sailor.

Having cruised extensively, the vessel is well set up with quality dinghy davits for the tender and outboard (NEW in 2024), plus the sugar scoop and boarding ladder provide easy access to the water or tender. The wide side decks provide excellent access forward, and the bow features the NEW Sarca Excel anchor with 90m of 10mm chain, easily controlled with the Lewmar anchor winch. Having completed a circumnavigation of Tasmania earlier this year, all systems are tried, tested, and ready for the next adventure!

This vessel is powered by a well-maintained and reliable Volvo Penta MD22 59HP Diesel Engine. This provides easy and economical cruising at 6.5 knots.
