1979 Nautor Swan 47

A 1979 Nautor Swan 47, Hull #43, built to Sparkman & Stephens design. This fiberglass cutter-rigged yacht measures 47 feet with a 13-foot beam and is powered by a single 75-horsepower Yammer diesel engine, cruising at 7 knots with a top speed of 8 knots. The boat features a dual companionway layout and carries a comprehensive suite of modern electronics including a B&G Hercules H-5000 system with dual chart plotters, radar, AIS, and autopilot.

The interior comprises two private cabins: a forepeak V-berth convertible to a double, and a master stateroom aft with a double and oversized single berth, both with extensive storage. The main salon includes two pilot berths and two settee berths around a drop-leaf dining table seating eight. Full galley amenities include a refrigerator, freezer, and double sink. A dedicated navigation station and two heads serve the accommodation.

In 2011, the boat received substantial upgrades: a new offshore carbon fiber mast and boom by Spar, with all running rigging and halyards led aft to clutches. Harken tracks and primary winches forward enable modern deck handling. The extensive sail inventory includes roller-furling Genoa and staysail, multiple spinnakers ranging from 0.75 to 2.2 ounces, racing and reaching sails, and storm canvas with dedicated luff track. Safety equipment encompasses a Viking life raft, emergency rudder, emergency tiller, SSB and VHF radios, EPIRB, windlass, and comprehensive spare parts for engine and systems. Air conditioning and a generator provide year-round comfort. The boat carries LMPHRF and ORC International ratings current for 2026.
