Description
Still in her original ownership, HAPPY APPLE VI is a cherished example of the Sweden Yachts 45, one of my favourite performance cruising yachts of the last 20 years, alongside her smaller sister, the 42. HAPPY APPLE VI offers timeless good looks both above and below deck, rewarding yet sea-kindly performance, and an unrivalled level of Swedish yacht-building craftsmanship. The easily managed sail plan has all lines led aft, while the superb cockpit works equally well under sail or at anchor, complemented by generous deck stowage. Below decks, the rich satin-varnished interior provides comfortable accommodation with three double cabins.
