Is This Sweden's Best Kept Secret | 1985 Scanmar 35 | Full Tour
Join Canadian Ken and me as we tour one of the most intriguing—and least-known—bluewater cruising sailboats ever built. We had an absolute blast exploring this beautifully maintained 1985 Scanmar 35, a rare Swedish-built center cockpit cruiser that combines classic Scandinavian craftsmanship, impressive sailing performance, and major recent upgrades.
With only about 100 Scanmar 35s ever built, these boats are a rare sight in North America. Designed by acclaimed Swedish naval architect Rolf Magnusson, the Scanmar 35 has earned a devoted following among offshore sailors for its strong construction, responsive handling, comfortable center cockpit layout, and genuine bluewater capability.
Whether you're searching for a capable offshore cruiser, planning extended coastal adventures, or simply love discovering unique sailboats, this is one you won't want to miss.
