Nautor Swan announces sale of four yachts in Maxi Swan range

Finnish shipyard Nautor Swan has announced the sale of four units in its Maxi Swan range, two of which belong to its 35.6-metre Swan 108 series. 

The Swan 108 marked an evolution of the range when it was first announced, with modified exterior styling by Micheletti + Partners and naval architecture by German Frers. The first unit, Fancy, was delivered in October 2023.

The Swan 108, as with previous models, has moderate freeboards that allow for gentle handling and seaworthiness, even in "very rough waters". An important evolution is the coachroof, which benefits from a spacious companionway that provides continuity from the cockpit to the saloon. 

The helm stations have also been moved forward and higher, offering greater visibility and control while freeing the aft part of the cockpit for sunbathing and the beach club area, which is widened by a dual-acting transom door. This solution offers "double the space than on comparable Maxis," according to the yard, while also allowing easier tender operations. Accommodation is across four cabins – including an owner's suite forward – with interiors styled by Italian studio Misa Poggi.

Both in-boom furling and a racing square top mainsail are available for this model, for owners looking to cruise or to compete in regattas respectively. Key specs include a 7.6-metre beam and a draft of 4.9 metres.

The other models sold include the third unit in the Swan 88 series and the fifth unit in the Swan 98 series. According to BOATPro, Nautor Swan has two Swan 128 models – the yard's second-largest series – actively under construction.
