Broker's Comments
The Swede 55 was designed and built to be a fast, stable cruiser/racer, which has been the reputation they have built. Alongside this performance, the Swede 55 has elegant lines, even described as 'Classic' by some commentators.
This version is being sold as a mini project by the owner, who suggests, for example, a thorough valet, some cosmetic work to the headlining and an engine service. During my visit to list this boat, I was struck by an excellent opportunity to acquire a fine sailing platform, with live aboard and blue water capabilities, for a competitive price. A buyer will need to oversee the type of recommended work noted, but has the potential to finish a potentially profitable and highly rewarding sailing enterprise.
If you would like any further information, or a personal viewing, then please do contact our office and we would be pleased to help.
