2004 Sweden Yachts 42From 2004, this is a very up together example of the ever popular Norlin designed Sweden Yachts 42 performance cruiser. Lots of continuous maintenance and upgrades in her current ownership means she lacks for nothing. Good sail wardrobe, electronics and with the addition of a generator and watermaker - she is ready for truly independent longer term cruising. Of course, the Sweden good looks, ease of handling and superb craftsmanship come as standard.
