1982 Sweden Yachts C-34

This 1982 Sweden Yachts 34 has quite a sailing history. Multiple trips across the Atlantic, and even a trip across the Pacific. The latest adventures began when the boat was purchased in 2017 In Corfu, Greece, and sailed to Las Palmas, Canary Islands to participate in the 2018 ARC (Atlantic Rally for Cruisers) from Las Palmas to Rodney Bay in St. Lucia (2700 NM).

After the 2018 ARC, the boat was sailed to Miami and then sold to some folks (2019) that moved it to the Dominican Republic due to Covid -19. The current owners purchased the boat in DR with the intent of sailing it back to Europe. However, the demands of life and time forced them to put her on the hard in Green Cove Springs, FL, and return to their home in Norway.

Anyone familiar with the safety demands of the ARC understands the requirements and rigorous safety standards a boat sailing the ARC must meet.

Sweden Yachts C34s were built at Stenungsund, Sweden. Since 1976, the Sweden Yachts yard has developed into a world-leading producer of well-sailing quality boats. This boat is one of the very last C-34 models built (hull no. 300). The hull is thick and solid. The boat is wide, and with its 6.25 ton weight, according to the seller, it sails safely and well in all conditions. Especially good and safe in bad weather.
