Builder Green Marine ERICSSON 1 is a great Volvo 70 Class sailing yacht to combine serious racing, racing charter,cruising and conversion project. She is in good overall condition with following components renewed recently: standing rigging running rigging radar, plotters, autopilot head batteries Charging systems engine (just a few hundred hours) and Saildrive transmission.

Refit 2019: All technical systems refitted, the underwater ship redone and a saildrive installed. Owners comments: Her big strength is power reaching which her design had been optimised for. Special features make her outstanding from most other Volvo 70: The new saildrive istallation was done in a way that the original retractable shaft stayed in place. For serious racing the saildrive can be removed and the original gearbox connected to the retractable shaft within few hours e.g. while the underwater is being cleaned. This feature is unique in all the sailing world. The runner winches are connected to the pedestal system so they can be used for gennaker or genoa sheets when peeling or other sail maneuvers like furling without swapping winches for the sheets

Beautiful Blue Water Ketch | REDUCED Helmsman Bosun Queen 55 Bosun Queen 55 with RORC certification (expired), built in GRP in Sweden, this large ketch is a capable and safe blue water cruiser, comfortable with either gentle cruising or racing. Her pedigree from the quality of build and on board refinements are evident through out and testament to the HELMSMAN shipyard, the Bosun Queen has very much the styling and quality of build likened to the Nautor Swan. Indeed, she even carry's the characteristic Swan Arrow on the topsides. Designer: Håkan Södergren and Lothar Köhler Builders Helmsman Yachts located near Stockholm, Sweden. The current owners are marine professionals her upkeep has spared no expense; the engine and systems shows careful care and continued maintenance throughout 9 years of ownership. Refit Works include (photos on file): Removal of Engine for complete rebuild 2015 All through hulls 2015 Switchboard wiring removed and Completely rewired 2015 Installation of Hot Water Calorifier 2015 Modified Pushpit to accommodate Solar Panels 2015 Interior Cushions and Upholstery replaced 2015 Antifouling taken back to gelcoat 2015 Cabin Soles varnished 2015 Integrated Air-conditioning for use in the Marina (fitted 2019 approx) Comprehensive electronics systems, including wifi, iridium satelite phone, usb ports and integrated screens for chart data or entertainment Owner's comments: We sailed on this superb sailboat for several years as a couple, with a young child on board. Fast and seaworthy, this large Ketch has quality fittings that allowed us to handle without any additional crew. Our circumstances have changed, and it is time to say fair winds to whoever takes her helm. Serious sailors only need to see her once to fall in love and imagine blue-water cruising and worldwide adventures.... early viewings recommended, there are few opportunities left to own a yacht of this pedigree. General note on safety equipment: Any safety equipment such as liferaft, fire extinguishers and flares etc., are usually personal to the current owner(s) and if being left on board as part of the sale of a used vessel, may require routine servicing, replacement, or changing to meet a new owner’s specific needs.
