FREE BYRD

FREEBYRD is a spectacular racer/cruiser from Nautor’s Swan combining high performance and modern design techniques with the quality
craftsmanship that made this yard famous. The Swan 45 Class boasts a 50 strong fleet around the globe, with wins at major international regattas, including the 2014 Pacific Cup.

FREE BYRD features a carbon fiber mast and boom with a set of two swept back spreaders, adjustable back stay, two bulb keels (deep and shoal draft), teak decks, a beautiful teak interior, and much more. Her design makes her an ideal fast cruiser with her uncluttered decks, ease of maneuvering, and robust build quality.

The current owners purchased a new set of Ballard racing sails in 2012/2013 in addition to the original set of North Sails. She is ready to cruise the coast or round the buoys. FREE BYRD is a special offering for the discerning yacht owner.
