NORLIN 34 MK. 2
1977 Norlin 34 Mk. 2 'Special' For Sale
250 000 SEK
Built in Sweden especially for the Gotland Runt race for one of the owners of the yard who built her. Special flush foredeck and 'racing' style cockpit, with slightly modified interior. Awesome, simple family boat with a new-ish engine (160 hours) that we've outfitted with new sails & rigging and is one of the most fun boats I've ever sailed.
We've owned the boat since spring 2020 and have sailed her in the Stockholm Archipelago. 7th in Gotland Runt 2021, raced again in 2024 but abandoned due to bad weather. Stored indoors with her mast de-rigged every winter since we've owned her at our shed here in Enköping. Previous owner re-cored the side decks with Divinicell foam & painted the decks and coachroof and replaced the engine, among a few other projects. We've continually upgraded the boat every year we've owned her.
We recently bought an OE36 as our family boat, which we won't race, which is why we're selling the Norlin, and I will be very sad to see her go...
