The midship cabin offers full headroom from companionway through the boat to the bathroom. Swede 55 provides amenities and desirable privacy for two couples, a family or for a cruise with friends aboard. The forward and aft cabins are well secluded.  The backrests of the settees in the main cabin fold down making room for two separate bunks.

The salon seats six persons withou ado, in a casual manner up to ten. The forward cabin has its own ventilation and entrance through a hatch. The pilot’s bunk is practical when sailing long distance and favoured by children.

Permanent bunks in forward and aft cabin are shown green. Convertible bunks in saloon and pilot’s bunk are shown blue. Besides the number of seven bunks in total the boat is ideal for three to four persons. In case of rain, the center cockpit in the harbor is protected with a tarpaulin back to the aft cabin. So you can change clothes standing in the open hatch of the aft cabin. When sailing through the night, the aft cabin is practical. Here the offduty sailor sleeps well thanks to little montion and water noise. Further he can be addressed directly by the helmsman in case assistance is needed.
