SWEDEN YACHTS ARCHIVE
Where it all began… Sweden Yachts was established in 1976 as Sweden Boats, building yachts to order such as the 12 meter R-Yacht which was Sweden’s contender for the America’s Cup. Shortly after completing a number of custom builds and changing the name to Sweden Yachts they took over production of the Comfort 34 from Comfort Boats, Arvika which they then renamed as the Sweden Yachts C34. Since then Sweden Yachts has gone on to produce 15 different models of boat in the range of 34 to 80 feet, all bar one were designed by Jens Östman and Peter Norlin.
Below are some orginal brochures followed by a model by model run down complete with downloadable pdfs. if you yourself have any material available that you would like to share with us for our archives then please contact us at [email protected].

Review of Sweden Yachts 42
Basic specs..
Both the hull and the deck is made of fibreglass. Generally, a hull made of fibreglass requires only a minimum of maintenance during the sailing season. The hull is a double hull which improves the indoor climate. Especially when the water is colder than the air in the cabin, then the double hull insulates against cold water and reduce the condense water in the cabin. The deck is a double deck which improves the indoor climate.
The boat is equipped with a galley, 425.0 liter fresh water capacity, toilet facility and 135.0 liter waste water capacity.
The Sweden Yachts 42 is equipped with a fractional rig. A fractional rig has smaller headsails which make tacking easier, which is an advantage for cruisers and racers, of course. The downside is that having the wind from behind often requires a gennaker or a spinnaker for optimal speed.
The Sweden Yachts 42 has been built with different keel alternatives.
Unknown keel type
The keel is made of lead. Compared with iron, lead has the advantage of being 44% heavier, which allows a smaller keel and hence less water resistance and higher speed.
The boat can only enter major marinas as the draft is about 2.10 - 2.20 meter (6.89 - 7.19 ft) dependent on the load. See immersion rate below.
But be aware that even though a Wing Keel keel is very good for speed racing, a fishing nets and the like in the water can easily make you into a troublesome situation.
Sweden Yachts 42 can only enter major marinas as the draft is about 1.80 - 1.90 meter (5.91 - 6.21 ft) dependent on the load. See immersion rate below.
The boat may be equipped with an inboard Volvo Penta D2-55 diesel engine at 55 hp (40 kW). Calculated max speed is about 7.1 knots
The transmission is a saildrive.
The fuel tank has a capacity of 280.0 liters (73 US gallons, 61 imperial gallons).
Sailing characteristics
This section covers widely used rules of thumb to describe the sailing characteristics. Please note that even though the calculations are correct, the interpretation of the results might not be valid for extreme boats.
What is Capsize Screening Formula (CSF)?
The capsize screening value for Sweden Yachts 42 is 1.83, indicating that this boat could - if evaluated by this formula alone - be accepted to participate in ocean races.
What is Theoretical Maximum Hull Speed?
The theoretical maximal speed of a displacement boat of this length is 8.1 knots. The term "Theoretical Maximum Hull Speed" is widely used even though a boat can sail faster. The term shall be interpreted as above the theoretical speed a great additional power is necessary for a small gain in speed.
The immersion rate is defined as the weight required to sink the boat a certain level. The immersion rate for Sweden Yachts 42 is about 293 kg/cm, alternatively 1641 lbs/inch. Meaning: if you load 293 kg cargo on the boat then it will sink 1 cm. Alternatively, if you load 1641 lbs cargo on the boat it will sink 1 inch.

Maintenance
When buying anti-fouling bottom paint, it's nice to know how much to buy. The surface of the wet bottom is about 50m 2 (538 ft 2 ). Based on this, your favourite maritime shop can tell you the quantity you need.
