Owner's words:

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

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

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

The boat was completely refurbished by the previous owner in 2015, with work done by local yards and specialists (hull work, rigging, fittings, sails, electronics, radar, AIS, solar panel, heating, etc.)
I purchased this boat in 2023 and continued to improve it:
- Sparcraft standing rigging, fridge, and WC in 2023.
- Varnishing of rubrails in 2024.
- Anti-osmosis treatment, replacement of some hull fittings in 2025.
- 2012 survival raft serviced in 2025.

The boat is afloat and monitored by professionals during wintering.
2023 survey available upon request.
