About this yacht
This exquisite J Craft Torpedo R, built in 2011, perfectly balances vintage style with high-end power. Handcrafted on Sweden’s Gotland island, she features a vacuum-infused GRP hull adorned with book-matched, responsibly sourced West African mahogany and twenty coats of varnish, each hull requires over 8,000 man-hours.

The hull’s superior stability—proven across the Baltic, North Sea, and Mediterranean—sparkles in both coastal comfort and open-sea confidence .
