Defined by its iconic Sparkman & Stephens design (project n. 2112), this 1974 Nautor Swan 44 stands as a testament to classic Finnish engineering. Built for the IOR offshore racing era, this sailing yacht successfully bridges the gap between competitive performance and comfortable offshore cruising. Her impressive heritage was cemented when the model earned the Yacht of the Year award at the 1973 London Boat Show.
The vessel measures 13.4 meters in length with an overall length of 13.75 meters and a beam of 4.18 meters, providing a stable platform with a 2.25-meter draft. Constructed with a fiberglass hull, she has been meticulously maintained, including significant structural care. Between 2017 and 2023, the hull was stripped and reinforced with two layers of epoxy fiberglass, then protected with five additional coats of Awlcraft epoxy, ensuring longevity and performance for the next owner.
Inside, the layout features two cabins and one bathroom, accommodating up to eight people on board. The interior reflects the thoughtful design that made Nautor's production line a benchmark for the period. This specific unit retains the classic aesthetic while benefiting from recent restorative work that preserves her structural integrity.
