Sweden Yachts 390

Very lightly used and extensively updated/improved Sweden Yachts 390 with standard draft keel. ESCAPE is a great turn-key option for anyone seeking a high quality performance cruising yacht of this style.   FURTHER BROKER’S COMMENTS: With just three owners since new, the first two of which were in Demark, ESCAPE has had a very sheltered life, always wintered ashore and while in Scandinavia, wintered mast-out in a heated hall. Covering very few miles throughout all her ownerships, ESCAPE shows just 7,500Nm on her log and has racked up just 792hrs on her 2007-fitted Volvo D2-40 diesel engine.   Purchased by her current owners in 2010 with a full survey report (on file), ESCAPE has been extensively upgraded and serviced, with a full update log available.   Her specification highlights include:

• Standard draft fin keel
• Upgraded Volvo D2-40 engine with low hours
• 3-bladed feathering Max-Prop propeller
• Recently replaced standing rigging
• Removable inner forestay for storm jib
• Spinnaker pole with spinnaker and snuffer
• Lewmarwinches with additional spinnaker winches
• Updated Raymarine instruments with GPS radar chart plotter, radar and AIS
• Sprayhood, cockpit tent and full boat cover for winter storage
• Diesel-fired hot air cabin heating
• Liferaft and full safety equipment
• Recently replaced batteries

  Having been bitten firmly by the Sweden Yachts 390 bug, ESCAPE is now offered for sale as her owners have purchased a late model Sweden 390 which they are now refitting.   OWNER’S COMMENTS:   ESCAPE is a beautiful Sweden Yachts 390 in only her third ownership since new. We bought her from Denmark in 2010 and she now for sale to allow the purchase of another Sweden Yacht. ESCAPE has been used only for family summer sailing, wintering ashore and undercover each year. She has been upgraded and maintained with an eye to detail and in our opinion is a superb example of this very high-quality Swedish cruising yacht.   It is said that the 390 is the jewel of the fleet, designed for safe, short-handed sailing with clean deck lines and a comfortable, efficient cockpit and ESCAPE has more than lived up to this through our ownership.     BUILDER’S COMMENTS:   A yacht in the luxury range: Clean, elegant lines together with generous space on deck and below makes this yacht an excellent representative of the Sweden Yacht philosophy. The search for perfection in every detail is found in the quality of finish, the functional layout and the integrity of construction. The 390 is designed for safe shorthanded sailing with clean deck lines and a comfortable efficient cockpit. It offers you three separate cabins in addition to the main salon and has a large, luxurious "bathroom". Also a proper navigation station, well-functioning pantry and ample locker space throughout the boat.   CONSTRUCTION   RCD Status:
