Discover an exceptional opportunity to own a true performance icon: the 2003 Nautor Swan 56 “Parnassus”, located and available for immediate viewing in Hong Kong.
Parnassus is one of only a handful of the highly sought-after Swan 56R (Regatta) versions ever produced. With her deep fin keel and lead bulb (3.36 m draft), lighter displacement, and taller fractional rig with Southern Spars carbon mast, boom and spinnaker pole, she is a genuine dual-purpose yacht, fast enough to win, comfortable enough to cruise. A proven competitor and winner in the Premier Division of the Rolex China Sea Race, she has already shown her pedigree in the waters she sails today. Sleek Frers lines and a teak-laid deck turn heads in every anchorage, while the classic Swan teak interior gives a bright saloon, a proper galley and comfortable accommodation for up to eight in three private cabins.
This is a rare chance to buy a carbon-rigged Swan 56R in Asia, ready to race or cruise from Hong Kong, or to deliver onward to the Med, Australia, New Zealand or Japan.
