The Malö 96, designed by Leif Ängermark and launched in the mid1980s, represents a definitive era of Swedish yacht building where robust offshore capability was packed into a manageable 31foot frame. Produced by Malö Yachts on the island of Orust, the 96 was conceived as a highquality cruising vessel for those who desired the legendary "Orust finish" without the extreme proportions of larger bluewater cruisers. Unlike many of its larger siblings that featured center cockpits, the Malö 96 utilizes an aftcockpit configuration, which maximizes the available space in the main saloon while maintaining a secure, deepseated cockpit for heavy weather. According to the Sweden Yachts Group archive, the vessel features a handlaid GRP hull with a balsa core above the waterline for insulation and stiffness, paired with an encapsulated lead keel that contributes to its substantial 5,000 kg displacement.
