The spadework has been done. A year of computer drawing, toying with ideas and decision-making is over and a new design is now on the drawing board. Chief Designer Leif Ängermark and Malö’s in-house designer Hans Leander are both relieved and pleased that the mission is completed. The Malö 39 is to be replaced by a new model and everyone involved are more than satisfied with the finished product.

“It was a very tricky job,” says Hans.“ Not because we didn’t know what we wanted or the aim of the boat, that had been taken care of a long time before, the problem was in replacing a boat as good and popular as the Malö 39.”

The Malö 39 has been a success since it was introduced around ten years ago. More than 90 boats left Kungsviken , quite a lot for a shipyard the size of Malö. So why is it being replaced ?

“Moulds and production tools wear out and it was time to change them so we thought it would be a good idea to improve the model at the same time. We wanted to develop the sailing characteristics of this quality boat even further.The new boat would be made quicker without changing the shape of the hull, which travels smoothly through the water.”
