Nautor Swan Swan 38 de ocasión - Precio: 70.000 €

Swan 38 - 1976. New Engine installed 2013, Hull painted 2023 and other upgrades
A boat with excellent classic design, build quality, longevity and performance.
What makes the Swan 38 better than any other yacht of its size, is its ability to make open sea passages in all weathers, while keeping its crew comfortable, safe and rested.
The design was commissioned from the legendary architects Sparkman & Stephens by the Finnish yacht builders Oy Nautor Ab in 1974. Nautor had already had considerable commercial success with a series of S&S designed Swans ranging from 36 to 65 ft. The Swan 38 was designed as a more compact version of their outstandingly successful 1967 Swan 42 design, which had proved to be a fast boat at every level of racing competition.
The 38 is really a top quality build. It's backbone is a massive stainless steel girder, solidly glassed into the bottom of the hull. This rigid base carries the loads of the mast and of the 7000lb keel and endows the GRP hull with enormous strength and stiffness. Most of the boats were built with a teak deck beautifully laid on top of the GRP top moulding. The teak is original but in good condition.
In total, 116 examples of the 38ft were built between 1974 and 1979. This boat from 1976 has serial number 75.

With 7 berths you have space for the whole family. Below deck there is a galley, toilet, possibility of 3 berths in the saloon, a cabin in the bow and an aft cabin with two longitudinal berths. In 2013 the boat was fitted with a new Bukh DV2 engine and in 2023 repainted Hull with Awlgrip.
Down below the joinery is immaculately made and polished to a cabinetmaker's finish and still in very good condition. The Swan 38 was considered a roomy yacht in its days, and although it can't now compare for spaciousness with modern yachts of similar overall length, the hull's deep sections and relatively substantial displacement give it plenty of volume, so storage space is generous and useful.
There are good seagoing pilot berths outboard of the settee berths so that the off-watch crew can sleep securely in bad weather. The forward facing chart table to port allows the navigator to work on a large flat area, with bulkhead space for instruments, under-desk storage for charts for paperwork, and a useful shelf for pilot books, without disturbing any resting crew. It is separated from the decent size galley opposite by the engine box and companionway steps. Behind the navigator there is a good size locker.

Further aft there is a usefully private aft cabin under the cockpit. It is reached by a short passage on the port side, and it offers a double berth as well as a single quarter berth to port.
Forward of the mast there is an WC/shower and a hanging locker and drawer space to starboard. Further forward, the fore cabin is dominated by bin stowage for the wardrobe of extra sails (such as CODE-0). This can used as a double cabin if so chosen by folding down the top parts on the sail lockers.
The cockpit is designed for easy sailing and handling and at the same time well protected with the larger model of sprayhood.
The Swan 38 is an easy boat to sail and well known for her outstanding performance. Her wide decks enable rapid and safe crew movement for sailhandling and harbour manoeuvres, and the simple, single-spreader rig enables her to be sailed shorthanded.
The current owners bought her after a long-time search in 2018 in UK. They the sailed in the Baltics for a couple of years and later down true the English Chanel, France , across the Bay of Biscay to Spain and further down to Portugal and the Algarve Coast where she is now. Before the current owners she had two owners. First owner bought her from Sweden and placed her in the Lake Geneva in Switzerland (Sweetwater, amd kept her covered or inside during winthers). She was only daysailed. Secondo owner had her transported to UK, where he used her for weekend racing/regattas (therefore all the sails), and only during summertime. Rest of the time she was kept indoor during winter. She is now owned by two German gentlemen who feel they no longer have the time for sailing and therefore ready to let her go to new owners.
A great extra plus for this boat – is that hull was painted in 2023 , and therefore always looks great and shiny without all the work of polishing and waxing.
The Standing Rigg renewed (wires) 2013, and surveyed 2017.
The yacht is currently in Marina de Lagos in Lagos, Portugal but planed to be hauled out in Portimao, Portugal during the spring, 2024.
