The photograph of this very boat was published in Curt Gedin’s 500 Båtar i Test — a classic catalogue of “time-tested” yachts trusted throughout Scandinavia.
Since then the yacht has been significantly upgraded: a wheel with hydraulic steering was installed, a new canopy, a reinforced mast support, new windows, a convenient bathing platform with ladder and a roomy Jabsco toilet. The cockpit has teak decking.
⚡ The electric motor Electro Mobile (5 kW) runs from lithium batteries (4×90 Ah, installed in 2022). It is complemented by solar panels (75 W for service and 110 W for the motor) and a 2000 VA generator.
Sails include two genoas, a mainsail, a spinnaker with a pole and a staysail on a furler. Electronics: Raymarine autopilot with wireless remote, Geonav 7 plotter with charts for all of Sweden, anemometer, VHF, and a stereo system.
Inside there is gas heating, a two-burner stove, a compressor fridge (new 2024), a spacious saloon and cozy cabins.
For safety — a Lalizas liferaft for 4 people (expired), Ankarolina anchor line system, lifebuoy, fire extinguisher and a fire blanket. Included: a canopy that allows standing upright, a folding propeller, fenders, mooring lines and a transport trolley.
The boat is well maintained, technically upgraded and still carries its history. A great option for those who want a classic Swedish boat in a modern setup.
