1984 Swan 42

Designed by legendary yacht designer Ron Holland and built by iconic Finnish yard Nautor Swan, this 1984 Nautor Swan 42 blends timeless lines, offshore capability, and true sailing pedigree. Equal parts racer and bluewater cruiser, the Swan 42 delivers exceptional build quality, a powerful yet balanced sail plan, and the unmistakable feel that made the Swan name legendary. Only 38 of these were made - a rare opportunity to own a beautifully proportioned classic that still turns heads at every harbor entrance. Original teak deck removed, deck sealed and painted, cadet gray Treadmaster sections epoxied to deck in 2012. Carbon fiber mast. She is ready to go and priced to sell!
