Swan 45 sold by Yeoman Yachts:

SWAZIK

SWAZIK is arguably the fastest and best equipped Swan 45 on the planet and she has the race record to prove it. SWAZIK has been impeccably maintained unlike no other sailboat in her class.

Every upgrade and modification have been carefully integrated to improve her sailing performance while at the same time preserving and enhancing her pedigree and stunning good looks.

The present owner of SWAZIK (since 2012), now with a young family and a busier work schedule, has less time to race her than before, but still enjoys shorthanded sailing her on San Francisco Bay.

SWAZIK is hull #020 and was originally known as VIM sailing on the east coast. Under her second owner she was named RANCHO DELUXE before the present owner called her SWAZIK.

SWAZIK is fully capable of being race campaigned at the highest level and she will be competitive. She is also set up for short-handed performance cruising if one wishes.
