Nautor Swan 45 NO NAME

Boat Overview

Year: 2003

Model: Swan 45

Hull Number: #024

Name: NO NAME

This is the only Swan 45 currently on the brokerage market in the USA. The performance of the Swan 45 is extraordinary, particularly with the custom bow sprit that allows for larger asymmetric spinnakers.

This Swan 45 was originally owned by one of the principles of the famed Jamestown Boat Yard in Rhode Island. The next owner purchased her in 2012 and she was lightly sailed, mainly on Long Island Sound.

The present owner acquired her in 2021 and has been sailing her on the Chesapeake Bay and up to Maine during the summers only ever since.

The upkeep this Swan 45 has received by all three owners is exemplary, with new teak decks laid in about 2017 and a large inventory of sails (2 of them new in 2025).

This Swan 45 features the preferred 2 cabin, 2 head interior plan, and a beautiful varnished teak interior.

She is ready for racing or cruising.

Photos will be available as soon as she is commissioned this spring.
