Sweden Yachts 50
Description
The Sweden Yachts 50 is a 50-foot sailboat designed by Peter Norlin and Jens Ostmann and built by Sweden Yachts from 1987-1996 with only 19 boats completed over the 9-year production run. This substantial luxury yacht offers spacious accommodations and excellent seakeeping capabilities, featuring a generous sail plan that delivers outstanding light-air performance and is built for luxury cruising anywhere in the world with style and comfort. The design represents a light displacement sailboat that performs exceptionally well, very stable/stiff with good righting capability if capsized, making it ideally suited as a blue water cruising boat.

Sailrite does its best to publish accurate dimensions, but we often find it worthwhile to have our customers measure their boats carefully before we produce kits for them.
