Overview
The Sweden Yachts 54 is a Swedish fiberglass sloop by Peter Norlin and Jens Östmann. It was built from 2007.
Design and Construction
The hull is fiberglass with a bulbed fin keel and a spade rudder. It measures 55.42 ft overall on a 47.58 ft waterline, with 14.83 ft of beam and 8.5 ft of draft. Displacement is 38,140 lb, with 15,432 lb of ballast (40.46 percent). It is rigged as a fractional sloop, and the auxiliary is a 75 hp Volvo Penta D2-75 diesel. Tankage is listed as 93 gals of fuel and 159 gals of water. A shallower-draft wing keel option is listed.
Buyers Notes
John Neal rates every Sweden Yachts model 2 of 5, describing them as racer-cruisers that are short on tankage and storage and have had rudder loss issues. Anyone considering one for offshore work should check the rudder stock and bearings closely and plan carefully for water, fuel and stowage.
