Swan 47 sold by Yeoman Yachts:

CYGNUS

Swan 47 CYGNUS is a stunning example of this popular centerboard model (5'9" board up).

CYGNUS is perfectly set up to cruise the east coast of the US and the Bahamas as well as the oceans of the world. She has been known to this broker for the last 4 owners.

The present owner purchased CYGNUS in 2020 and completed a major refit from the spring of 2020 to the spring of 2021 which is well documented below. The previous owner sailed her for about 10 years during the summers only and mostly on Long Island Sound. Under his ownership CYGNUS was stored in a heated shed each winter with the rig removed. Before that this Swan 47 sailed the Atlantic twice as the owners enjoyed cruising the European waters in between crossings.

One may be well challenged to find a better Swan 47 on or off the brokerage market.
