Abstract

The article discusses the design features of the Swan 55 yacht, Galiana WithSecure, which recently completed a 30,000-mile race around the world. The yacht's owner and skipper, Tapio Lehtinen, assembled a team of young Finnish sailors to participate in the race. The article highlights various modifications made to the yacht to enhance its functionality and comfort, including changes to the bunks, saloon, galley, and safety features. The article also mentions the unique gimballed chart table inspired by French sailor Éric Tabarly. [Extracted from the article]
