Swan 47/032

Swan 47/032 Petrel 1978 (ex. Quicksilver): For Sale

Petrel is a classic Swan 47, built to the specifications of the NYYC 48. This particular boat, hull number 32, was commissioned by Yachting author, Arthur Beiser (author of “The Proper Yacht”), and built by Nautor in Finland in 1978. Swan 47 CB Petrel is a fibreglass sloop, designed by Sparkman and Stephens, and built with a centreboard. She is finished with a Mk. II interior, and has the extra aft entrance. The “NYYC Swan 48” is a proven racer/cruiser.

Petrel has had a partial boatyard refit, including new teak bridge deck, new teak deck strips and new cockpit deck caulking; new lifelines; new bimini & hatch covers in Sunbrella. She still boasts many pieces of original equipment, such as 13 Lewmar winches; (65’s, 55’s, 48’s, 43’s, 40’s & 34’s), and bronze Blakes thru-hulls. Built by Nautor for offshore racing, her refined robustness is evident throughout. The “NYYC 48” design was also modified by her original owner, to include larger stainless steel tankage, and hence she provides greater cruising range.

Viewing can be arranged at her berth on G3, in Rodney Bay Marina, St Lucia.

THE CONCEPT

The Swan 88 is the first model fully developed from the outset to offer a hybrid electric propulsion option in partnership with Torqeedo and sees continuation of the cooperation of Germán Frers for Naval Architecture, Misa Poggi for Interior Design and Lucio Micheletti, Micheletti + Partners, for the exterior styling.

The Swan 88 is designed to present a super-smart opportunity for Owners to reduce running costs when chartering.  This performance maxi design cleverly satisfies the critical 24 metre load line length rule for compliance to the light MCA charter regulations.  Nautor Swan’s decision to develop this vessel stems from the aim to offer a true performance superyacht based on an efficient platform, minimising management costs and simplifying the charter certification process.

The architect

Germ á n frers.

“The New Model is an evolution of the previous models, but for this one we’ve done a complete study for the balance, the performance, the position of the rig and the shape of the sails” says Germàn Frers. “According to the results of these studies, we designed the hull”.

Standard Sailplan

Performance Sailplan

As on every Swan, the heart of the yacht is its deck, which on the Swan 88 can be separated into four defined areas, the first three located in the cockpit/aft while the fourth is found in the fore section. In the guest cockpit, Swan has introduced a newly evolved coachroof design on the 88 that takes inspiration from previous generations of maxi yachts, bringing together the practicality of an integrated sprayhood and bimini, with a very elegant line. The cockpit’s modular benches can be arranged in a number of different configurations, such as lounging and full dining set-ups. The manoeuvering area with the yacht’s winches and steering pedestals is centrally positioned in this area, to allow space at the stern for a completely new beach area where guests can recline or lie down, with access to the water as well as the large tender garage. Forward of the mast, there is a fourth area which can be used for sunbathing or as a sunset lounge, with a large sail locker and anchor locker below the deck.

The deck engineering

Micheletti+partners.

To design Swan 88 we needed to find a new and timeless style that carries the Swan brand forward, a boat conceived around a new luxury where the future reinterprets the classic. We wanted a shape smoothed by the wind where the essential and dynamic lines were enhanced.

with options

The interior designer

“When you walk onto a boat, you should walk into a very comfortable, harmonious and magical place. This magic comes from the balance created between volume, geometries, architecture and materials.”

CONFIGURATIONS

INTERIOR MOODS

• TIMELESS WHITE
• TRADITIONAL NAVY
• SPIRIT OF FINLAND

Timeless Classic

The yacht is fitted with natural materials such as linen, cotton and leather in shades of white, naturally light colours, natural brown and putty tones for leather. These blend with light durmast wood, giving the yacht a sophisticated feel and bringing warm, sunny countries to mind.

TraditionalNavy

Linens and cottons in navy blue and shaded white blend with various shades of tobacco in fabric and leather. There is also the traditional wood used for sailing, namely natural teak, taking those on board back to the long-established seafaring concept of historical sailing clubs.

Natural fabrics such as linen and cotton are featured in different shades of wine, Cowes red and the fundamental shaded white. There is also “drunken” leather and Canaletto walnut, bringing to mind the Admiral’s Cup and Fastnet Race triumphs of sports sailing.

Spirit of Finland

A typical modern Swan interior featuring an under-stated Nordic approach with use of hand-crafted timbers and seaworthy detailing. Light European oak and walnut floorboards are paired with carefully selected performance fabrics in light natural colours and earthy leather accents for a soft touch. A timeless, light yacht interior from the land of the midnight sun.
