Specs & Key Performance Indicators

No, the Sweden Yachts 390 is not in production anymore. Production ended in 1997, after 10 years of manufacturing. A total of 62 boats were built by Sweden Yachts.

Sweden Yachts was founded in 1976 by two former employees of Hallberg-Rassy, Lars Larsson and Bengt Jansson. The company started by building custom yachts designed by Peter Norlin, such as the famous Swede 55. In 1984, Sweden Yachts introduced its own line of production yachts, starting with the Sweden Yachts 36. The company expanded its range over the years, producing models from 34 to 70 feet. In 2013, Sweden Yachts merged with CR Yachts and Regina af Vindö to form the Sweden Yachts Group. The company is still in business today, offering new models such as the CR 390 DS.

The Sweden Yachts 390 has two keel options: a standard fin keel or a shoal draft wing keel. The fin keel has a draft of 2.10 m (6'11") and a ballast of 3,000 kg (6,614 lbs). The wing keel has a draft of 1.80 m (5'11") and a ballast of 3,200 kg (7,055 lbs).

The Sweden Yachts 390 is a fast and responsive sailboat that can handle various wind and sea conditions. It has a balanced helm and a good stability, thanks to its low centre of gravity and high righting moment. It can reach speeds up to 8 knots in light winds and up to 12 knots in strong winds. It can point well upwind and run smoothly downwind, with or without a spinnaker.

The average cost of a secondhand Sweden Yachts 390 depends on the year, condition, equipment and location of the boat. According to some online listings, the price range can vary from $100,000 to $200,000 USD.

The designer of the Sweden Yachts 390 is Peter Norlin, a renowned Swedish naval architect who has created many successful sailboats, both custom and production. Some of his most famous designs include the Swede 55, the Norlin 34, the Maxi 77, the Sweden Yachts 36, the Norlin Mark III, the Sweden Yachts 45, the Norlin 37 and the CR 400.
