"Tant Blå" is Swedish-owned and was sailed down to Vilamoura, Portugal, in 2022; prior to that, she was sailed in the Stockholm area.

Arcona UK describes the model as follows: ”The 430 was the 2009 European Yacht of the Year, applauded as the ideal cruiser-racer, combining race-winning speed and heart-warming comfort.”

Are you planning to sail to the Canary Islands, the Caribbean, or into the Mediterranean? This boat is perfectly located in southern Portugal, near Faro Airport. Alternatively, sailing her back to Northern Europe is an excellent option. If you lack the time, we may be able to arrange delivery sailing.
