1978 Nautor Swan 431

The 1978 Nautor Swan 431 is a 43-foot fiberglass cruising yacht designed by Sparkman & Stephens. Built for offshore work, the boat features a deep lead keel, sloop rig, and monohull design suited to varied sea conditions. Power comes from a single 37-horsepower Perkins diesel engine.

The interior includes a teak saloon, galley, and sleeping quarters arranged for comfortable cruising. The cockpit layout supports active sailing and deck work, with rig and sail plan configured for balanced handling and maneuverability.

The boat underwent major systems restoration beginning in 2017, with replacement and rebuilding of all core systems and addition of further upgrades. The yacht has logged two Atlantic crossings and has proven capable of extended offshore passages.
