50 foot Sweden Yacht - like Swedish boats are, it is packed with craftsmanship and sails like a witch, it will quickly leave you in no doubt it's a SPECIAL boat. What about her size and powerful rig? - It does mean the skipper has power to push in adverse conditions or tide and take the straight line home at 8 or 9 knots. At the same time with 2M draft you can creep into smaller havens. As we have, you will enjoy the benefits of an extra 10 feet of boat over a 40 footer for the same money, less salt water in your face at sea, less fatigue and much less sea sickness, while in port - More space to entertain/retire to a proper Master Cabin to work or relax.
Easily viewed NOW afloat READY to sail away - located an hour or so of London Airport. This is a rare opportunity to acquire under Margin Scheme VAT for used boats. Can be zero VAT rated for new owner removing the boat permanently out of UK or reclaimable VAT for a charter company. This is a future -proofed Scandinavian yacht at a tiny fraction of the new price of even a production 50 footer. 9-berths would make excellent charter yacht. Rarely available 2.1 M Shoal draft version for sneaking into British creeks or dreamt of Blue Water anchorages. Sensible money - We believe she has the lowest depreciation in the marketplace great contender over a 5 year old or even more new production boat. Our upgrades mean new Owner will have simple maintenance in the years ahead, certainly not a the typical project boat or one which you will find looking for a new engine in 5 years time.
She has been little used after our massive professional upgrade /refit. No major updates or repairs left for next Owner - and well set for the next 25 years. See sailing video below in 20 knots of breeze -she is easily handled by two, with good quality but simple systems easy to Understand & Maintain.
This presents as a really clean boat throughout, and in excellent original order. Overview of REFIT: New 110hp Yanmar & prop, New North Sails, 2022 Flexiteek Deck and ALL New standing /running rigging. Recent survey report.
Very capable Blue Water yacht with massive construction. Two recent diesel tanks. Excellent electrical installation with 24 V high output alternator plus separate Paguro with its own start battery and smart charger. Just under 900 litres water tankage in 4 stainless tanks.
Sweden Yachts 50 story
The Sweden 50 model is a beautiful, 50 foot Live- Aboard, Fast Cruiser with proven Offshore and Blue Water record, only 19 of these 50 foot hulls were produced 1989 to 1994, as the ultimate "Super Cruiser" as the builder described it, lavishly outfitted and built to last. The safe layout, and systems made our horizons quite endless whilst we found our weekend trips more fun and relaxing over our smaller previous yachts with smaller engines.
Sweden yachts has a rock solid reputation for sailing performance and build quality, built to Lloyds standards with EU approval. Rare to come to market at a tiny fraction of the new price of any 50 foot yacht today with no depreciation to worry about!
Our boat has been continually updated and subject to a HUGE refit 2022/3. She offers a kind motion and powerful sailing are rarely found combination as you can see in our Video here. She is a wonderful family boat.
Kept up to date, as this one truly is, SY50's retain values and provide timeless pride of ownership which wont be paralleled by production yachts in the market. We think our price offers a compelling option against much newer, smaller, weaker production boats, which are now 15 yeas old with original engine and sails.
In 2022, at the age of 35-years the big ticket items needed inspection & change-out and a full professional refit ashore was on the cards for us. Having enjoyed the revitalised boat now we are offering her to the market at a fraction of the new cost but with security of a recent nut and bolt professional refurbishment ashore which is captured in a survey report.
Adding a new lease of life to a great yacht, a Fully documented refit in the UK, Contractors completed a 18-month update and refurbishment from keel to mast tip under survey.
