SWAN 48MKII
For Nautor Swan, 48 is a magic number. One of the most iconic Swans ever was born in 1971 under this number: the mythical Swan 48. Designed by the best yacht designer of that time, indeed one of the best of all times, Sparkman & Stephens of New York, this iconic yacht won some of the most prestigious offshore races, like the Bermuda Race and Transatlantic Race and achieving selection for the Admiral’s Cup – the “Formula One” race series of that time.
The hull lines are designed by maestro Germán Frers as a combination of performance, comfort at sea and liveability both on deck and inside the yacht. The result is a very well-balanced hull, with a new design for the bowsprit, giving great functionality for anchor and tack line. The leitmotiv of the latest generation of Swans is balance, and this is clearly visible in the sail plan. This goes together with the full naval architecture, to give the best combination between performance, safety and easy sailing. Like every Swan, the deck plan has been conceived for maximum efficiency, safety, comfort, aesthetics and character.
With classic style and elegance from Misa Poggi’s pencil, the Swan 48 MKII boasts an interior arrangement providing a clear feeling of space and volume. The three cabin layout comprises the owner forward with a private head, a VIP cabin starboard and a guest cabin portside, both aft.
