Specification BROKER'S COMMENTS With significant input from Rod & Olin Stephens, this Enderlein design, was built for the then Commodore of the Royal Swedish Yacht Club (he kept her for 20 years!). She was a member of the Swedish Admirals Cup team 1961 and 1963 and equally successful as a cruising boat. Expensive refit in 2005 – DIONE is stunningly beautiful. The fact that Dione has recently confused a member of the Sparkman & Stephens\' office proves she is a lovely mix of Olle Enderlein and perhaps Olin Stephens. However, DIONE is not a delicate classic, there is something about her Scandinavian roots that make her a very usable family cruising boat. You can almost feel she would not mind another rugged slog to the Fastnet Rock either! With her striking good looks she really is a fabulous classic yacht, attracting attention wherever she goes.
