1968 Nautor Swan 36

"Finesse" is a classic racer and cruiser. Designed by Sparkman and Stephens, the 36 Swan enjoyed a highly successful production run that put Nautor on the map building the company's reputation to what it is today. She is a beautiful boat with a comfortable cockpit with Teak trim and high Teak combings, long overhangs and beautiful lines. 36 Swans are exceptional sailing yachts around the racecourse or cruising remote locations. She will satisfy the most discriminating of sailors. This boat has been lovingly restored by the current owner. If you're looking for a boat that will turn heads in every harbor make an appointment to see "Finesse" today.

Vessel Walkthrough

Interior Cabin:

Starting at the bow, you have the anchor locker. Moving aft is the ash-lined V-Berth with recent 4" cushions and filler. There are shelves above and storage under. The head and vanity is next, with electric head upgrade in 2011. The head can be closed off with curtains on either side. Moving further aft, there are settees to port and starboard with shelving on both sides and storage under. Continuing on the starboard side, there is a hanging locker followed by the galley with a stand alone 2-Burner propane stove and ice box. On the port side, after the port settee, is the navigation station with storage, map light, electric panel and VHF radio. Further aft is a quarter berth.

The 11 port lights have been replaced with opening Lewmar ports. Additional ventilation below comes from a Marinco Day/Night Solar vent. A Go Power Solar Module Charging Kit keeps the batteries fresh.
