Description

The Sweden 42 is the ultimate example of a performance cruising yacht that was designed to be "just right” from the start. With timeless looks, a superb deck layout, and an opulent yet well-proportioned interior, she remains a benchmark in her class. Sweden 42, RHAPSODY  is a fine example. Lovingly maintained by two lifelong sailors, she belies her age. Well-equipped and comprehensively inventoried, there is little a new owner would need to add. One of the most recent and significant upgrades is a new suit of North sails. RHAPSODY is fully prepared and ready for more adventures.
