Re: Stus-List swan
We chartered a Swan a few years ago. The agent was giving me the tour lift the (beautiful teak and holly) floorboards with the special tooleach floorboard sits on an aluminum angle frame all welded together to make a grid... beautiful welds...all water lines and such are labeled and have valves etc. All are accessible... the plumbing and electrical routing is impeccable.. and so forth. They are works of mechanical art and for the price they should be...

Why do Nautor Swan sailboats cost so much money? I understand they're very well built boats however a 35-year-old Swan still costs over 20 times more than a CC of comparable size. Blisters and all!

Re: Stus-List swan -- Canada Day
Hi Brent, Maybe 'cause the CDN has dropped compare to Euro? :) Seriously though, Happy Anniversary Canada. Only 147 years as a nation. This is a little late in the morning since the missus I had a really nice sleep-in after working 14, twelve or more hour days on an annual boiler shutdown. Kinda tired, maybe go for a sail this afternoon.

Re: Stus-List swan
In 1998 when we first looked at buying Calypso the listing said Swan like quality at a CC price or something to that effect. Having been recently crawling around in all of Calypso's deep dark recesses performing deck repair work I would have appreciated a higher level of attention to detail by the lay-up crew. The Swan's I have sailed on had a much more complete finish inside and out (glass work, joinery, wiring, etc.). You could run your hand around storage area and not catch some skin on a rough bit of glass. Add that to the brand's reputation and air of exclusiveness the higher market pricing and resale value seem to hold up. Much like a comparison between a Bentley and a Cadillac. One dark and stormy night, off the Washington coast in more wind than was fun, I was reassured by the SS design and Swan build of a late 60's Swan 65 ketch. The 100,000 lbs. of boat felt strong and stable. I would have been nervous on a lesser boat designed and built to a market and price point well below Swan, or for that matter below 70's CCs. A Bendytoy 42 I delivered down the west coast would have in deep trouble in those seas.
