J class SVEA – 143′ – sold 2017

May 10, 2025

The new J Class Yacht Svea was launched in Jan­u­ary 2017 to an orig­i­nal hull line­s­plan of Thore Holm made in 1937. Fast for­ward, this spec­tac­u­lar new J took 80 years to fi­nally touch the water.

Hoek Design redesigned her linesplan, did all exterior styling, naval architecture work and performance optimization. Her construction, decklayout and sailplan were optimized for racing, incorporating many new features.

The interior design was done by the late Pieter Beeldsnijder in cooperation with Hoek Design. Interior decoration was done by deVosdeVries. She was built at Vitters Shipyards with help from Claasen Shipyards who initially started the project. Hull construction was by Bloemsma in the Netherlands who previously built three other aluminium J Class hulls.

Her owner has spared no expense. As she is outfitted with a complete set of racing sails & a delivery set in combination  with her carbon fibre mast and 10m Humber RIB makes her a very complete J-Class. Svea has proven her capabilities as she is newly-crowned 2018 J-Class champion
