SECOND WIND

Without a doubt, the Swan 651 is one of the finest and most unique Swan models ever launched. This special example was delivered in 1985 as the factory owned full race Swan 651. She competed in the Whitbread Round the World Race finishing 3rd overall.

Modifications to the basic model included a reinforced hull with a custom keel and a spade rudder designed by German Frers. In the winter of 1988, she was taken back to Nautor for a complete refit to emerge in 1989 as a fast cruiser fitted with a full cruising interior, modified bulb keel, and hydraulic package.

A long list of recent upgrades includes a carbon mast, new systems, and sails. In 2015 this historic Yacht proved that her classic lines and legendary design are still highly competitive by finishing first in the iconic Transpac race. She provides outstanding performance with ease of handling in a superbly equipped and optimized vessel outfitted for world cruising in classic comfort.
