Nautor Swan 38
Nautor Swan 38 for sale
Boat Details
The Swan 38 can quite rightly be claimed a classic in the hall of fame of yachting. A nautical Aston Martin/Bentley is a well deserved simile. A winner from the board of Sparkman and Stephens, a real beauty and much in demand, they are robustly built and stand the test of time. Kuutar is well maintained in a very much original style and layout allowing the next owner to decide how they wish to proceed, be it concourse Swan regattas or cruising in style. Kuutar has been in the same ownership for many years, well maintained, Rig inspected annually and engine serviced annually. Wintered ashore every year at the highly regarded Elephant Boat yard. Now ashore at Hamble Point for easy viewing.

Interior & Accommodation
The beautiful joinery has stood the test of time and offers a traditionally warm ambiance. The Swan 38 was considered a roomy yacht for its time and although cannot be compared to today's wide and beamy yachts, still combines to give a feeling of spaciousness with the deep hull sections and substantial displacement providing plenty of volume. Thus storage room is generous and useful. Interestingly, the splendid pilot berths which provide possibly the best of berths at sea on any yacht, also means that the eye is taken out to the hull sides and gives a feeling of space. An option adopted by the most modern of yachts now.
Eberspacher central heating ensures all year round enjoyment and convivial evening gatherings.
