Swan 44 mk 2 Frers - NAutor's Swan UK

Brokers Comments:
The Swan 44 is the quintessential Swan with the ability to both cruise and race she has a
great cockpit layout for short-handed family cruising and a deck layout equally at home
accommodating crew for an offshore race. This example is essentially a cruising
specification but does have a racing sail inventory.
Gunsmoke has just returned from the Med and is now out of the water in Ipswich. The
owner is planning on a winter refit schedule which includes replacement of the standing
rigging as well as a general clean and tidy after the season. The house batteries have
been replaced in 2012..
