Malo Yachts are very well known in Europe as ocean going sailing yachts. I know former owners of HRs that moved on to Malo. Apparently, they are built even stronger and over-sized than HRs. Excellent, safe, and beatiful boats!
Fun fact: Malö is built in Kungsviken (The King's Bay) on the island of Orust in Sweden. According to the legend the viking king Olav Tryggvason's ship "Ormen Långe" (The Long Serpent) was built here in the 900's, more than 1000 years ago. From the 1200's there are contemporary written records of this boat yard, and the construction of the Norwegian king Håkon Håkonsson's warship. This is also the place where the boats of Harry Hallberg were built in the 1900's. When Hallberg moved to a bigger yard, the Kungsviken yard was taken over by Christoph Rassy. After Hallbergs retirement in the early 1970's, Christoph Rassy bought Hallbergs yard and merged it to become Hallberg-Rassy. Since the move of the Rassy yard, Malö has been the predominant boat being built in Kungsviken.
@@mufflejoy Well, New York was named after York of course. And York sounds different from London, does it? York sounds Scandinavian. So, you can say New York is a Viking City, too. Close related.
Love all the Scandinavian boats: HR, Sweden Yachts, Baltic, Nautor Swan, etc., etc. Sleek and modern lines, beautifully finished interiors, super functional cockpit and deck layouts and they perform well. Plus, they're all built like tanks.
I am falling in love with this boat. What a gem. Seems ready for short handed sailing. Without this video I would never believe a boat from 1997 can look this good.
It must be difficult sometimes to review a boat that you really love. I can see it in your face. 😃 it's just the right size for that single handed sailor. Thx Jordan for the tour. I really spent some time reviewing the list of all she has. I'm impressed too. Let Randi know we miss seeing her but we understand, she has her hands full. Keep up the good work and we'll see you in the nest video. I'm going to bookmark this video so I can watch it again.
Hi yall, it was great seeing you, I would say meet, but y'all were eating with your family and I caught you out of the corner of my eye. I don't think I entered the place other than the threshold....lol! Since you were eating I didn't want to impose other than to say hello! It's hard to believe you picked up from o m Fla and moved to NS. I visited the Island yrs ago when I was stationed in Maine. Beautiful place and no hurricanes!! Any way, glad to see y'all are doing well. I'm back home in Ala,. Stay Safe
It's hard to believe that the boat has been so well looked after, a real gem. I love HRs too, especially the old 35, but this is amazing... I love it too 😍 Nicely done video 👍
Those "shelves" to each side of the helm are a nice mitigation to the downside of that "t-shaped" cockpit you like - They flip up to support your legs if you want to sleep in the cockpit on really hot nights
@@bos6782 That's actually quite funny. I laugh at these people who need google maps to get around the country but I'm even worse. We only ever pulled out a map once on a boat and that was because there were some young children on board so we plotted the coarse twice a day to show them. Other than that I've only ever seen electronic charting. I've got a 1200 mile passage coming up. I'll pull out a map and chart it 👍
I saw you at Annapolis and should’ve said hi. You were with your kid and I thought to let you enjoy the day. Thanks for the videos. It helps to get ideas during my own refit.
Randy. I have looked at white Abis several times. She has been on the market for many months now. Ask is $169,000. She is going to need a new engine soon (5600 hrs.) The decks need love too. She is a very nice boat, however with engine and decks figure she will be a $200K investment if not more.
Absolutely stunning as the entire Scandinavian, Baltic and North Sea built boats (disclosure, like my Dutch Contest…). A lot of common design features and concepts, bet materials and fittings. Malo also sails relatively fast, in spite of the (lighter) medium displacement - all due to the superb design based on generations of boat builders that are all still in flourishing business.
Great, never heard before of this boat! I 'll try to buy one! Another great design is Moody's (the original/designed by Dixon) before the company was taken over by Hanse! Incredible good English boats!
Nice walkthrough. Malö is actually quite famous yachts. The Ö is pronounced as O and O out together OE. Ö in Swedish means Island and Mal means Moth. So Moth Island.
You should review: Regina at Vindö, HallbergRassy352 (specifically 352, 5/5 planning of space compared to size) and of course a Najad. Yes I’m from Sweden..
Ok. Now That’s a nice boat! The only real negative that I saw was screwed down teak decks. BTW. When you review a boat and the teak decks are NOT screwed down, make sure and mention it. A very good selling point. Otherwise, great. And I am with you on center cockpits but prefer them on boat’s over 40 feet. Also Malo, HR and Najad are similar and just down the street from each other. All great boats.
I've heard of them but they sure seem to be uncommon in the states. Very nice boat. Id prefer a full skeg to protect the rudder and a bridge deck to prevent water ingress to the cabin in the event of a flooded cockpit. Its unfortunate that the side decks are so narrow and then cluttered by the shrouds. Finally,, too much teak covering the decks.. I'd prefer none. Otherwise, perfect. 😃 That is all.
Only things I dont like are inboard shrouds & the issues that can come with a teak deck. Interior works great for me, U galley & aft head. Engine hours are getting up there.
More or less all Swedish high quality sailboats as Malo, Hallberg Rassy, Najad, Vindo and Sweden Yacht are made on the same island “Orust” on the Swedish west coast.
Used to own one of these puppies and the only reason we moved up to the 43 was because we had aft-swept spreaders as this one does. We wanted the greater flexibility of inline spreaders which we got on the 43 Classic which the UK agent said was the best he had delivered in 24 years!
Considering the class and reputation of these boats, I'm surprised at the deck-stepped mast. One school of thought says that if you lose a rig then a deck-stepped mast make it easier to clear the debris overboard. Personally, I'd go for a keel-stepped mast being less likely to be lost in the first place, plus it would lend itself to being jury rigged.
that's a great looking boat and it looks very well cared for.. if I had the $$$$bills y'all I'd be on that... would prefer not to have in mast furling but.. yeah, great boat
You must be young, but- the US never had a distributor for such a small manufacturer. Unbelievable boats- all handmade, will survive whatever happens (seasoned crew required!) THIS Boat is perfect in so many way, I can barely keep my hands off of the checkbook. But, there are MANY< MANY men & women who know Malo & what they bring to the table. My guess is- she is already sold...
Outwardly a stunning condition boat.. appears to have been exceptionally well cared for, beautiful swept teak decks. Hopefully, they'll go some way to protecting the yacht from water ingress to that balsa core fiberglass deck beneath, something that always causes me concern.
There are many things to like about this boat, but that cockpit enclosure is not one of them. With the side panels in place, there's no room to swing a winch handle, and no safe way to go forward. I can't imagine having to exit the cockpit via the stern with nothing to hang on to until you get to that arch.
I think it is Malø. Or Malö. Ø or Ö means island. Oy and oya too. You should know these words. Go to Scandinavia more often, you'd be surprised how familiar it is over there, for Americans. Do not stay in those bloody States your entire life.
The headline should read "The best Boat AMERICANS likely never heard of". As with (just about) everything else the American public is quite closed minded and not really interested to know or learn about "foreign" stuff. After living here for more than 30 years I am still astonished by the discrepancy between the wide held perception of the US as a dynamic and progressive nation when in fact it is extremely rigid and hostile to new ideas. Exceptions are few and far between, with regards to sailing these are reduced to "knowledge" about the European cheap charter buckets a la Beneteau or Bavaria and as far as real boats are concerned perhaps Hallberg-Rassy but how about Faurby, Comfortina, Sirius, Nordship, Luffe, RM Fora, Wauquiez, Elan to name a few. I sure appreciate your attempt to bring some light into this mantle of ignorance and I would suggest to do more of it, perhaps researching some of the brands I mentioned above.
Sorry to be a PiA. No more. Getting hooked. Sendng a shrink check. Always hated shrinks. I do not believe one word you say. Its your JOB to be what you are. I have not lied, not once. Take care of you. If i breeze through toss me into Utube bla blah blah. Told you way way to much Oh well. Thanks for the kindness. Bye Bye Dave says me Change your clocks.
I prefer sleek classic lines. The lines of this boat leave a lot to be desired. The slant of the stern is ugly. If there was a tiller instead of that huge wheel (or even a smaller wheel) there would be room for the seating to come all the way back with no interruption. THEN you'd have a nice sized cockpit.
Pretty clear this video was done on acquisition, not after extensive usage of the yacht. We sailed the south coast of England and over to Bantry Bay in Ireland in our first two years with her. Bit hey, this newby is making his video. Hang on for his “thoughts”.
After owning a Malo 39 Classic and a Malo 43 Classic, both of which were superior to Halberg-Rassy yachts, I can confirm the commentary of this RUclips poster. It’s really sad that Malo Yachts no longer exists.

Thanks for this excellent history of two excellent boatbuilders!
It is still only 10 miles between the HR and Malö yards on the island Orust- they share a lot of design and quality DNA.

It is difficult! Why can't we all just own all the boats we love? Lol.
@@LearningtheLines I agree!!!! 😁
I already watched it again! Hahaha- what a perfect example of a Malo! and, 40 feet to boot!
My god man, these owners sure take care of her! What a beautiful boat. I too, love it 😍! Lol
Wow, what a beauty. Wish she were mine, i’m envious.😮A boat to be proud of indeed.
I love this boat too, its design is simple yet elegant. A real sailors rig. I could see myself behind this helm,enjoying life at sea!
What an absolutely gorgeous boat. You can really see the love and care the owners have put into her.
What a sweet find of a blue water cruiser.. many journeys past, and I'm sure many to come..
An amazing sailboat. Also,
It was a pleasure meeting you at the boat show. Your family is very charming!
Cheers Jeff
Beautiful boat, especially the interior, love the woodwork.. it's easy to see this boat was very well loved and taken care of..

What an absolute gem this vessel is ! My only concern would be all of that teak !
The interior of that boat is pristine, thanks for the video. I like the forward facing Nav station,
I'm not super experienced. Only done about 10k miles of coastal and south Pacific passages. Why do people want a forward facing nav station?
@@o4pureh2o I like it because your navigating in the direction you’re going.

I saw you at Annapolis and should’ve said hi. You were with your kid and I thought to let you enjoy the day. Thanks for the videos. It helps to get ideas during my own refit.
I've sailed on a Malo 37. Very nice boat. A comfortable, sea kindly, solid cruiser.
Love that boat.

Looking at the cabin, it is very hard to believe that it is of 1997 vintage.
What an awesome looking boat!
That's quality all around.. Great find Jordan! 👍😎

I have been loving the Swedish yacht group's boats. The CR385 ds or the Regina ds are incredible!. The Malo is the Euro version of the Tayana to me.
sort of like a HR. Love those solid windshields. Then hull shape reminds me of the Catalina 34 I had for years.
What a stunning yacht and and really good review 👏 Reminds me of a saddler 35 I sailed on with the quality and warmth 😎
Love the inside
Owned the Malo 39 hull number 169 from 2002. She was awesome!
I know somebody who's been wanting a Malo. Nice boats. Used to have my boat at a nearby marina. HHN is nice for walking the yard.
Too good for me!
What a honey!
Of course I have heard about Malö. I live in Finland. 😀
Very nice looks to b in great shape
I love this boat
Nice walkthrough.
Malö is actually quite famous yachts. The Ö is pronounced as O and O out together OE.
Ö in Swedish means Island and Mal means Moth. So Moth Island.
Very like Ran2 true all waters boat. 👍🏼

Lovely sailboats. Not many about & their owners hang on to them.
Nearly normal keeling design reduces heeling over and increases speed while improving rudder control. The best I have seen.
Nevermind.

Id prefer a full skeg to protect the rudder and a bridge deck to prevent water ingress to the cabin in the event of a flooded cockpit.

The only thing I would want for long cruising would be a water maker. But that's nit picking.
Thank you.
Thank you John Lennon for great review.
That is "THE" layout as far as I'm concerned. The way a cruising boat should be.
Used to own one of these puppies and the only reason we moved up to the 43 was because we had aft-swept spreaders as this one does. We wanted the greater flexibility of inline spreaders which we got on the 43 Classic which the UK agent said was the best he had delivered in 24 years!
Nice video and fantastic boat! That said a "bone dry bilge" on the hard with a deck-stepped mast is not much of an accomplishment 🙂
Yes please.....I want
Not a negative to think of. The price seems ultra reasonable as well
😊I believe Nigel Calder choose this brand for his last custom boat that says a lot.
Prettiest 40 footer you’ve shown I think! BTW, what’s happening with the trimaran?

What is the cost of this boat?
I agree with others...just buy it.
Pretty famous in Northwestern Europe
speaking of obscure. Was just looking at the specs of a LAURIN 32
Perfect for one or two.
I like the bilge comment....if the bilge is wet on the hard, you got serious issues!
The boat you’ve never heard of? They’re well known here in Europe. But this is lovely example I must say.
Sorry I missed you. That’s my marina.

Aft cockpit, not a center cockpit.
A 1997? Way to much. This boat should be under $100000.
