Boat DescriptionA Swedish classic Milja is the ideal runabout with a certain whiff of Venetian taxi about her combined with a comfortable forward cabin suitable for sleeping at least two people.Specifications
Year Built: 1951
Hull Material: Honduras mahogany on oak
Topsides Material: Merbau
Engine: Mercruiser 5.7 litre petrol powered with 260bhp
Top Speed: Approximately 35 knots
Length: 29ft
BSS Valid Until: 2028
Restoration and FeaturesShe was completely stripped down to bare wood during covid times when the owner imported her to the UK. A group of skilled enthusiasts applied some 10 layers of varnish resulting in a unique and beautiful boat with lovely lines. A brand new custom made canvas was fitted this year which when removed opens up the aft cockpit area completely. It matches the smart cushions in the cabin and seating areas.Interior LayoutMilja has many appealing factors and with her beam she feels much longer than 29ft. The space on board divides up into three main areas:
Sleeping Area: Located in the bow with a portapotti below one of the seats
Midships Area: Cooking and eating area where the helm position is also located
Aft Cockpit: Separated by a glass partition, enhancing the similarity to a Venetian taxi launch
The sink with sliding draining board is a model of Swedish efficiency and ingenuity. No space is wasted as the double skin lining opens to reveal bottle, plate and built-in glass storage. Clearly the influence of the Scandi mid twentieth century craftsmanship is here shown at its best and you can see how contemporary brands like Nimbus still make these fast cruiser type boats today. The commuter launches which were so popular in the USA also have some influence in terms of design on these smaller cruisers which are ideal for ideal hopping as well as weekend cruising.Viewing InformationViewing is at Lechlade by appointment.
