About the Malo 106

Built between 1984 and 1988 by Sweden's prestigious Maló Yachts, this 35-footer represents the legendary builder's commitment to robust offshore cruising boats with racing DNA. Designer Olsöner created a well-proportioned masthead sloop that balances performance with the seaworthiness that defines the Maló brand. The hull configuration features a fin keel with rudder mounted on a protective skeg, providing excellent tracking and reduced vulnerability compared to spade rudder designs. With a displacement of 14,550 pounds and substantial ballast ratio, this boat offers the stability and sea-kindly motion that makes long passages comfortable. The moderate beam of 10.73 feet contributes to both interior volume and sailing performance. A comfort ratio of 31.58 places this design squarely in the offshore cruising category, while the capsize screening value of 1.76 indicates good stability characteristics for ocean voyaging. The hull's ability to achieve 7.12 knots under sail demonstrates respectable performance potential. Only 70 examples were produced during the four-year production run, making this a relatively exclusive yacht. Maló's reputation for exceptional build quality, combined with thoughtful Swedish engineering, has created boats known for their longevity and ability to handle challenging conditions while maintaining creature comforts below deck.
