Tant Blå is Swedish-owned and was sailed down to Portugal/Vilamoura in 2022 and back to Stockholm in May 2026. The boat has never crossed the Atlantic or entered the Mediterranean. Prior to that, she was sailed in the Stockholm area.

This is how the model is described by Arcona UK:

“The 430 was the 2009 European Yacht of the Year, applauded as the ideal cruiser-racer, combining race-winning speed and heart warming comfort.”

New photographs from August 2026, when the boat was hauled out and fully prepared, awaiting her next owner.

In July 2025, the boat underwent a thorough inspection and major service of the entire boat at Sopromar, Lagos. Receipts and specifications are available.

In mid-August 2026, the boat was hauled out for a thorough inspection and refresh: washing, polishing and waxing of all painted surfaces and gelcoat, including the hull sides, cockpit and coachroof. The teak deck was cleaned, and the interior was thoroughly refreshed, including areas beneath the floorboards and inside storage compartments. Engine service was carried out, with oil and filters replaced in both the engine and saildrive.

Tant Blå is fully prepared for delivery and ready for her next sailor!
