SWAN AROUND IN A 65


First presented at the recent Düsseldorf Boat Show, Nautor Swan's 65 project is
intended to marry a modern performance cruising yacht with safe, comfortable
cruising with family and friends. It is designed by Germán Frers to be equally
capable as a competitive racer.
Deck ergonomics allow the Swan 65 to be raced efficiently with a full
competitive crew or sailed shorthanded around the world.
Nautor offer diverse interior layout solutions based on the standards that
have made Swans world famous. The Swan 65 features a five metre saloon with
a raised panoramic living area and dining to port and lounge to starboard. The
saloon connects directly to the galley and navigation station.
There are two cabin versions with the owner's cabin either forward or aft. The
fore master cabin is smaller than the aft but is the most accessible and quietest
of the two. The twin aft guest cabins are offered in two layouts: two single or one
double bunk, each with a separate shower.
The aft master cabin is larger and better suited for long distance cruising.
Stable and protected under sail, the owner’s cabin’s full beam width features
ample space and several stowage facilities.
