Malö 96

Description

The Malö 96 is a 9.7 metre sailing yacht with a centre cockpit that was built in the 1980s. The model is closely related to the later well-known Malö 34 and was also partly marketed in this context. The GRP hull marks the transition from classic S-frame shapes to more modern, fuller lines. In contrast to older Malö yachts, the 96 has a moderate long keel or short keel with skeg and attached rudder. This design improves manoeuvrability in the harbour. Below deck, the boat has a bow cabin, a saloon with seating area, a galley and a wet room. The cockpit is positioned low in the ship. This creates a protected feeling at the helm, while at the same time the headroom in the passageway below deck is limited. The interior is finished in mahogany and follows a clear, functional room layout with plenty of storage space. Compared to previous Malö models, the Malö 96 offers more modern hull shapes and better manoeuvring characteristics with a similar concept. The Malö 96 is aimed at sailors looking for a compact cruising yacht for longer trips and coastal cruising.
