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 part of 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.

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 as 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.
