1997 Nautor Swan 57 RS

ELISABETH – 1997 Nautor Swan 57 RSELISABETH is a rare example of the Nautor Swan 57 RS, an elegant raised-saloon performance cruiser designed by Germán Frers and built by Nautor Swan in Finland.Combining Swan’s renowned construction quality with Frers’ graceful lines, ELISABETH was conceived as a serious bluewater yacht offering both rewarding sailing performance and exceptional comfort for extended cruising.ELISABETH has had one family owner since new and has been maintained with an open cheque book policy throughout the years, with major refit items completed in 2011, 2018, 2023. She has safely and comfortably cruised every year, for a month, in the Greek islands, with her current owner.The Raised Saloon configuration provides an unusually spacious and light interior for a yacht of this generation, with generous headroom, excellent visibility and substantial accommodation for owners and guests in three ensuite guest cabins, one with an extra pullman berth. Her large saloon, practical cruising layout and considerable storage make her particularly well suited to long periods aboard.Her Reckmann electrohydraulic in-mast and genoa furling systems, 3 electric oversized winches and 6 manual winches make sailing this exceptional yacht a pleasure.At 17.88 metres overall with a beam of 4.85 metres, ELISABETH has the volume and presence of a substantial cruising yacht while retaining the performance sailing characteristics associated with Swan.Built during an era when Nautor Swan established an exceptional reputation for robust construction and beautifully executed interiors, ELISABETH represents an increasingly rare opportunity to acquire a classic Swan conceived for genuine long-distance cruising.For an owner seeking a substantial, elegant and proven cruising yacht with unmistakable Swan, performance and pedigree, ELISABETH deserves serious consideration.2011 - New original Burma teak deck laid throughout2017 - Full new rod rigging2019 - new sails (North sails)2023 - new full hull paint and replaced all hatches with new hatches from Goiot.
