"Seen from the boat
things do appear quite different“, says the “Sailor from Gibraltar” in the novel by Marguerite Duras.
As you depart, having stored the ropes in the aft lazarette, hoisted (not unfurled) the sails, as you get busy with handling the boat, you are in a different world. It is a simple step but an interesting one. A way of transition that always works.
You are forgetting your schedules, the daily agenda, the tiring routine of shorebased life. This kind of relaxation may work aboard many boats, be it a dinghy or a seagoing yacht.
In essence, Swede 55 is a unique mix of a dinghy and a seagoing boat, made for the thrill of classy yachting. She is responsive like a dinghy, hungry to head close to the wind and a mile eating ocean greyhound when reaching. A sensitive and fast, a captivating toy.
You are welcome to step aboard and to share this experience.
