Designed as one of the very first Swans to be built with cruising in mind rather than racing, the German Frers designed Swan 46 model has proven herself over the years to be a fantastic short-handed bluewater cruiser as well as performing extremely well on the race course, winning the prestigious Rolex Swan World Cup in 1990 and the Rolex Swan European Regatta in 1992.

‘TRAMONTANA’ is hull number 46/096 and the 28th of the Mk2 hulls built between 1989 and 1997 by the Nautor yard in Finland.  Benefitting from an extensive program of updates and general maintenance under her current ownership, she now offers a great opportunity to jump into a turn-key Frers Swan.  Having the deeper 2.7m performance keel and the taller 3-spreader rig makes her a powerful high-quality yacht for fast but safe cruising or racing.
