Sweden Yachts 42 2007

This boat is 100% ready for new adventures, long-distance sailing around the world or sailing in closer waters. With investments of over half a million in recent years, this boat is priced for a relatively quick sale.

In the cockpit, everything is optimally placed so that the boat can be easily sailed by one or two people. You can safely sail her from the cockpit without having to go on deck. With 2 electric winches – the best – Andersen winches, as well as a couple of manual ones, the boat is incredibly easy to handle, even for just one person. The high backrests in the cockpit provide comfort and convenience, and under the extra large (and new) sprayhood, you are also fantastically protected from the elements. Cockpit tent is of course in top condition, and Bimini in good condition.

The generator has its place at the back of the hugely deep chest bench, which means that it does not take up space inside the boat or in the engine room. If you need to service this, you can even stand next to the generator down in the starboard stowage compartment

The boat’s history is striking. The first owner bought her and sailed her for holidays and leisure during summer periods in Sweden in the Stockholm Archipelago. Owner number 2, sailed a little further down to the Mediterranean where the boat was then only sailed then only in spring and autumn and was stored there in between covered on land during summer and winter. In the spring of 2014 until January 2018, they sailed seasonally in the Caribbean for 2-3 months at a time and the rest of the time she lay covered on land. In 2018 they sailed through the Panama Canal and took part in the World ARC (a well-known organized event for sailors in different parts of the world – this as part of the circumnavigation). The journey ended in New Zealand, from where the owner had the boat transported on a cargo ship to Germany. At World ARC she won 5 out of 6 division stages in her class. Current owner bought her in 2020 and sailed in Sweden the first year and then a long trip to Southern Europe last year. Now it’s time for the family with new land-based adventures and Pleione is therefore being sold in Lagos, Portugal.

The fact that all previous owners have sailed limited times of the year and have been so careful with her means that the teak deck is almost like new and all surfaces do not bear traces of strong sun and salt as you would otherwise expect. Deck and cockpit teak was even recaulked in 2018/2019 as top of perfect maintenance.
