Shortly before Christmas in 1969, the Assembly Hall of the Nautor’s Swan boat yard burnt to the ground, destroying a dozen hulls in various stages of production. As a result, Pekka was forced to sell stakes in Nautor’s Swan, to finance the rebuilding of the yard and to re-start production. Despite this setback, Nautor’s Swan continued to fulfil expectations entering the market for larger seaworthy, elegant and timeless yachts with the introduction of the “Swan 55” and the Swan 65. These models offered owners all the joys of sailing combined with the opportunity for racing success - most poignantly, this included “Swan 65”, Sayula II’s victory in the first ever Whitbread Round the World Race in 1973/74. Between 1978 and 1981, another very well know yacht designer, Ron Holland, started his cooperation with Nautor’s Swan designing five boats which were produced in approximately 300 units, including the well know “Swan 37”, “Swan 39” and “Swan 42”. In the 80’s, Nautor’s Swan entered a new era with the appointment of German Frers as designer, who has since been responsible for the design of all Swan yachts, maintaining in their design that vital balance of competent racers, comfort and beauty. Over 700 yachts have been produced on the design of Frers, including his first Swan, the “Swan 51” in 1981, which was then followed by great successes, such as the: “Swan 46 I and II” between 1983 and 1997; the “Swan 53” in 1986; the “new Swan 43” in 1985; the “new Swan 36” in 1988; the “new Swan 48” in 1995; to end up with the current active models presented in this catalogue, including the “Maxi Swan” line with the “Swan 60”, “Swan 75”, “Swan 82”, “Swan 90” and “Swan 100”. In 2006, to commemorate Nautor’s 40th anniversary, the Frers designed the “Swan 66”, a model that is the embodiment of everything that ‘Swan’ stands for. The “Swan 66” was conceived using forty years worth of knowledge in premium yacht building and cutting edge technology. The contribution of Frers has been also very important for Nautor’s Swan to enter in the “one design” racing yacht segment with the design of the “Swan 45” in 2001, followed by the “Club Swan 42” in 2005 which was developed in association with the prestigious NewY orkYacht Club to encourage the return to traditional Corinthian sailing competitions. Today, Nautor’s Swan with over 40 years of heritage, is a leader in the luxury sailing yacht market. It is globally recognised as the producer of exquisitely crafted yachts, capable of offering the perfect balance of style and performance. From 1998 Leonardo Ferragamo and a group of investors have controlled and managed Nautor’s Swan, continuing to push forward a whirlwind of innovations and changes that firmly place the Swan yachts at the forefront of the international sailing world. 6 7
