Sweden Yachts

Major refit including new: rigging; sails; deck; engine.
Now moored at Ipswich, Suffolk, England. Inviting Offers above £200,000 + VAT The recent refit was specified and project-managed by the Owner, a Naval Architect. This Sweden Yachts 50 - European model - is in excellent condition and located in central Ipswich, Suffolk, England, where one of our brokers lives close-by. Launched in June 2024 from a yard in Brightlngsea, Essex, after the extensive renovation and with 3 coats of International 250 applied just prior to launching.   Sailed to near Ipswich for the new rigging in August 2024 as specified.   Very little use since then Sweden Yachts are renowned for making well-built cruiser racers with excellent seaworthiness - genuinely long-legged 'blue-water' yachts.  
Designed and built to Lloyd's Specification, this Sweden Yachts 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).
The Master cabin towards the bow has its own en-suite facility as well as a working desk thus enabling, with the twin 5G antennas, the ability to be in touch with the outside world as required.

This Sweden Yachts 50 benefits from being owned by a fastidious Naval Architect who has master-minded an excellent renovation over the last 3 years that includes:

- New 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) which has just had its first service and new: gearbox, drive-shaft and 4 blade featherstream 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 to the 'ring deck' (everything 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.
This example is a proven blue-water cruiser having sailed the Atlantic in an ARC event.
The fin keel enables this yacht to sail in Shoal Draft waters, drawing only 2.1 metres.
