The Vindö 50S, built by Vindö Marin AB and designed by Carl Andersson, she is a beautiful blend of classic elegance, rock-solid build, and dependable cruising performance. It is a favourite among traditional sailors who value craftsmanship, seaworthiness, and the timeless allure of wooden trim, while enjoying the benefits of a fiberglass hull. Karina has been well maintained in her current ownership and is well set up for a light-handed sailing with the benefit of a Provane self-steering system and bow thruster. Early viewing is highly recommended, as these boats are rarely seen on the market.
