Hello everybody,
on may 30 this year, after a five year search, we finally did it. We (the family) are now proud owners of Swede 55 n:o 2. This boat actually belonged to Mr Olof Hildebrand himself in the early beginning, but he was persuaded (after only one year) to sell the boat to Mr Gunnar Landegren here in Sweden who sailed the boat to a lot of victories in competition. We are very happy and thankful to all it's previous owners, not least to Janne and Jens who we bought the boat from, for putting so much love and money into maintaining her. If I understand all the historical data here correct she should be the oldest now "living" Swede 55...
Below is a picture of her from the island of Biskopsö in the Stockholm archipellago this July...
