1973 Nautor Swan 65

A superb example of this classic S&S design built in 1973, Nautor Swan 65 VENATOR is modern, stylish and state of the art. The vessel has been lovingly worked by people who have not spared effort or money to rebuild and improve in places this wonderful yacht.ConstructionRCD Status: Our understanding is that the yacht is exempt from the essential safety requirements of the Recreational Craft Directive as she was built and placed into use within the EU prior to 1998. Note: From the recent Ocean Globe Race and as known from earlier Whitbread Races, there was a potential “weak spot” regarding the skeg of the 65 when very hard pressed. Please note that: - Regarding the skeg on VENATOR it has had major strengthening in current ownership. They found that the foam core had become waterlogged, so it was completely cleaned out and dried 100%. Then two carbon fibre tangs were created and fitted into the void as well as attached to the stringers. The void was then resin filled so that there can be no water Ingress. It is consequently superbly strong and should have a long and strong life ahead of it. Note: New improved SS reefing system for main – 2019. Note: New improved safety measures (breakers) on electric winches – 2021.
