Wooden Ships Comments on this 34′ Swedish Sloop
Built in Sweden in 1938, she was the result of a design competition for the Royal Swedish Yacht Club which aimed to stimulate innovation and design amongst the younger naval architects in Sweden. The winning designers name was Syersen. After being built, the yacht was given away in the yacht clubs raffle the following year and was won by a Scottish sailor who brought the yacht home to Scotland before the start of WWII. She has spent her entire life in Scotland and is a well known yacht, sailing the west coast for more than 30 years with the current owners.
A very elegant and fast yacht but of a sensible and manageable size that does not need a large crew.
Maintained to a good standard and recently launched after a spring refit.
