Overview
About this vessel
VINDÖ 50 - A Distinguished Swedish Cruising Yacht
This well-kept 35-foot Vindö 50 offers the warmth and character of a traditional Scandinavian sailing yacht combined with the reassuring strength of fiberglass construction.
Designed by Carl Andersson and built in Sweden, the Vindö 50 is immediately recognizable for her graceful sheer, beautifully proportioned profile and extensive handcrafted woodwork. She is a yacht for sailors who appreciate traditional craftsmanship, solid construction and a comfortable, deliberate manner under sail.
Her substantial displacement, deep ballast and long-keel configuration provide a secure and sea-kindly feel, with excellent directional stability and a comfortable motion in the short, often challenging chop of San Francisco Bay. The protected cockpit, moderate draft and easily managed cruising rig make her equally appealing for afternoon sailing, Bay cruising and longer coastal passages.
Below decks, the Vindö's finely finished joinery creates an inviting traditional interior rarely found aboard modern production yachts. Her accommodations are warm, practical and exceptionally comfortable for a yacht of this length, offering a welcoming environment for cruising, entertaining or relaxed weekends aboard.
Maintained in good condition, this Vindö 50 represents an uncommon opportunity to acquire a genuine Swedish classic without accepting the compromises of an all-wood hull. She combines timeless appearance, proven cruising qualities and distinctive craftsmanship in a yacht that will stand apart in any marina.
For the sailor seeking character, substance and enduring quality rather than another ordinary production boat, this Vindö 50 deserves serious consideration.
NOELANI certainly belies her age. She is owned by an experienced cruiser who enjoyed upgrading and caring for her as much as he did sailing. Consequently she looks and feels like a lady 20 years younger than her true age indicates. Upgrades include a recent Yanmar re-power with just 300 hours, recent new sails, new standing rigging, new bottom paint and much more.
