Swan 38, Thorhildur – a boat with a very special history Some boats are just boats. Others become a part of the family’s story. Thorhildur belongs to the latter category. The boat has had only two owners throughout its life. The first owner was a Swedish businessman who maintained it uncompromisingly. After each season, it went to the yard and was cared for without regard to cost. At that time, the boat was docked in Karlstad and primarily used for trips to the owner’s private island in Vänern. The current owner's parents fell in love with the boat at first sight. In fact, they traveled to Sweden three times to ask if they could buy it. Each time, they received a no. It was only when the water level at the island became so low that the owner could no longer use the boat as desired that he said yes. Thus, the owner's parents' great dream came true. When it came time to name the boat, the owner's parents wished to name it after H.M. Queen Margrethe, whose Icelandic name is Thorhildur. They therefore wrote a letter to Her Majesty to ask for permission. The answer was yes, and the letter still hangs onboard – a very special detail that accompanies the boat. The owner's father treated the boat as if it were a family member. Maintenance was never something that was overlooked, and it has always received the care it deserved. Together, we as a family have had countless fantastic experiences onboard. Thorhildur has sailed long trips to places such as the Åland Islands, Bergen, Poland, and Holland – always with a sense of safety and security. The boat is equipped with a newer engine with slightly more power than standard, providing extra performance under sail. For the owner, Thorhildur has been a boat where everything just works. The sailing characteristics are fantastic, and it offers a calmness and security on the water that is hard to describe. Bad weather has never felt like an opponent – on the contrary, the boat has always made it part of the experience. The boat's teak deck is due for an update; see attached pictures where otherwise it is in fine condition. Here is your opportunity to acquire a boat from the renowned Swan yard, known for high quality and excellent sailing capabilities! Contact Yachtbasen to arrange a viewing.
