Swan 44 mkII ELUSIVE for sale with Yeoman Yachts
Swan 44 mkII for sale:

ELUSIVE

It is somewhat frequent to find a Swan on the brokerage market with at least a partial refit. But rare to find a Swan on the brokerage market with such an extensive and very recent refit such that ELUSIVE had. This makes ELUSIVE a unique and outstanding opportunity for any active Swan 44mkII prospect.

ELUSIVE went through a massive refit over the past year or two at Bristol Marine in Boothbay, Maine.

The highlights of the refit are new teak decking, new engine, new electronics, new sails, new electric main halyard winch, new life raft, new bimini with solar panels over, new rudder bearings and more.

See the 2022 to 2024 REFIT in the listing below.

ELUSIVE competed in the 2024 Newport to Bermuda Race and is fully compliant with the strict rules and regulations for such a race.
