Udell

Designed by renowned Swedish naval architect Knud Reimers in 1955, this elegant 36-foot sailboat represents classic Scandinavian craftsmanship and thoughtful proportions. Built exclusively by Kungsörs Boatyard, only twelve examples of this distinctive design were ever constructed, making it a rare find in today's market. The Udell's traditional wood construction and fractional sloop rig reflect the sophisticated design principles that made Reimers famous throughout Northern Europe. With a displacement of 4,600 pounds and substantial ballast ratio, this boat offers reassuring stability for coastal cruising and longer passages. The fin keel configuration provides good pointing ability while maintaining reasonable draft for gunkholing. At 36.25 feet overall with a 27.25-foot waterline, the design emphasizes seaworthiness over pure speed, though the hull is capable of reaching its theoretical hull speed of 7 knots in favorable conditions. The modest beam of 6.42 feet creates a sleek profile that cuts through waves efficiently, while the comfort ratio of 19.93 suggests a motion that experienced sailors will find predictable and manageable. This boat suits sailors seeking a well-balanced coastal cruiser with offshore capability, particularly those who appreciate traditional construction methods and timeless Scandinavian design aesthetics.
