Luna of Plymouth is a beautiful example of the Sweden Yachts 45, a yacht that combines exceptional build quality with superb sailing performance. Easily and comfortably sailed short-handed, she has a fully-battened main and has a choice of self-tacking jib or overlapping genoa which are all controlled by an electric winch.
Below decks she has an L- shaped galley with two fridges and an electric hob and multi-function oven, three double cabins, two heads, and a newly upholstered leather dinette and forward facing chart table in a spacious saloon. Both above and below decks she has unusually generous stowage space, including three big lazarettes aft and a large locker forward.
Luna was the Stockholm ‘Boat of the Show’ in 2000. She spent most of her life in Sweden where she was stored inside during the winter, which explains her excellent condition. In recent years she has been kept in the South West of England. In winter the boat has been heated and dehumidified continuously. She has never been raced.
Luna is a Part 1-registered British ship and is UK VAT paid. She is a perfect example of the Sweden Yachts 45, in great condition.
