Nautor Swan Swan 36

XBOAT ref :4175.
Owner's words:

I am selling my Swan 36, in excellent condition, 11m, from 1969.
This beautiful One Tonner of 11m, measured JCH with a rating of 8.6236, is ready to participate in all classic sailboat regattas, especially the Atlantic Cup of the Yacht Club de France.

This Stephens design, successor to Cybèle, prototype of the series and RORC champion 1968, is the first of the long series of Swans built by Nautor yard in Finland, renowned for their quality.

I have its complete history and many documents from its first owner, Barry Davies, who, a friend of the British sailcloth importer Hood, participated at that time with him in the Irish Sea, in ISORA and RORC regattas in the early 70s.

The boat was fully renovated by the previous owner in 2015, including work by local yards and specialists (hull passes, rigging, deck fittings, sails, electronics, radar, AIS, solar panel, heating, etc...).
I bought this boat in 2023 and continued improving it:
- Sparcraft standing rigging, fridge and WC in 2023.
- Varnish on coamings in 2024.
- Osmosis treatment, replacement of some hull passes in 2025.
- 2012 survival raft revised in 2025.

The boat is afloat and guarded by professionals during the winter.
2023 survey available on request.
