This 1980 Steen Kjølhede Ylva represents a unique opportunity to own a traditional Danish-built vessel known for its sleek lines and impressive sailing performance. Designed as a modern interpretation of the archipelago cruiser, this boat balances a lightweight 3500 kg displacement with a generous sail plan, capable of reaching up to eight knots on a beat. With its carbon mast and refined keel weight, it maintains a competitive edge that remains relevant in today's active one-design class in Denmark.
The cockpit design features a closed rear panel that enhances the sense of space on deck, complemented by ample storage accessible through two stern hatches. This specific unit has been well-maintained and includes recent upgrades such as all new running rigging and updated mattresses from 2019. The vessel is powered by a Yanmar GM 1 diesel engine, providing reliable auxiliary propulsion through a sail-drive transmission.
Measuring 12.02 meters in length with a beam of 2.3 meters and a draft of 1.7 meters, this yacht offers a cabin and a bath, making it suitable for those who appreciate a fast day sailer that doubles as an efficient coastal cruiser. Its historical significance, combined with a history of racing success, makes it a distinct choice for a sailing enthusiast looking for character and performance.
