Description

The Malö 39 is a highly respected Scandinavian cruising yacht, known for her build quality and offshore capability. With a fully encapsulated keel, solid hull construction, and a deep aft cockpit, she offers a calm, predictable motion at sea. As a result, she inspires confidence in a wide range of conditions. Built to a high standard, the Malö 39 blends strength with comfort. The aft cockpit layout provides excellent protection on passage, while below deck the interior feels warm, practical, and well suited to extended time aboard. This balance makes her a popular choice for serious cruising sailors. ‘Kumari’ has benefited from a strong programme of recent upgrades. These include a new engine fitted in 2024, recent new sails, an updated navigation suite, rigging hardware, diesel heating, and electrical system improvements. Because these key areas have already been addressed, she presents as a genuinely turnkey bluewater cruiser. Overall, this Malö 39 is well prepared for offshore passages and long-term cruising. The combination of recent investment and proven design makes her ready for immediate use, rather than future projects. The yacht is currently lying in the Scottish Highlands.
