Nautor Swan 65-108
Overview
The Swan 65 is an iconic blue water sailing yacht from Nautor Swan that blends pedigree, performance, and prestige. Originally made famous in the 1970s when the classic Swan 65 won the first Whitbread Round the World Race, the modern Swan 65 continues that legacy with updated design, luxury interiors, and serious offshore capability, yet all with an eye on performance.
Swan 65-108 is an exceptional example of this design and has perhaps the strongest option list we have seen, most notably the inclusion of a lifting keel for reduced draft cruising, yet when fully extended her righting moment, combined with sail plan, produces serious results.
We welcome your interest and highly recommend flicking through her lengthy specification to learn more.
