Designed by the accomplished Swedish team of Peter Norlin and Jens Östmann, this sleek 43-footer represents Sweden Yachts' commitment to blending performance with comfort. Launched in 1998, the Sweden Yachts 42 embodies Scandinavian design philosophy with clean lines, thoughtful engineering, and attention to detail that has earned the builder international recognition. The yacht's fin keel with bulb and spade rudder configuration, combined with a fractional sloop rig carrying 919 square feet of sail area, delivers impressive performance characteristics. With an SA/Displacement ratio of 18.77, she offers spirited sailing while maintaining excellent stability thanks to her substantial 8,885-pound ballast. The moderate displacement of 22,046 pounds strikes an ideal balance between speed and seaworthiness. Her comfort ratio of 29.44 and capsize screening formula of 1.83 indicate this yacht is well-suited for both coastal cruising and offshore passages, appealing to sailors seeking a capable blue-water cruiser with racing potential. The hull's 8.13-knot theoretical hull speed suggests respectable performance in light to moderate conditions, while the robust construction and thoughtful design make her equally at home on extended cruises or spirited day sails.
