GRYPHON

GRYPHON is the last and arguably the best Swan 66FD built. Originally constructed for a very caring Dutch client as LOT66 she mostly sailed the Mediterranean waters until 2016 when the present owner purchased her. He then raced her in the Rolex Swan Cup in Porto Cervo the same year before sailing her to the Caribbean. Since then GRYPHON has sailed in New England in the summers and the Caribbean in the winter. The present owner continued on where the first owner left off lavishing care and attention to his yacht including new 3Di main and jib, plus a cruising spinnaker, new EC6 standing rigging and the electronics package has also been upgraded. This Swan 66 has had a full time captain aboard at all times to ensure GRYPHON always remains in tip top condition. Highly recommended.
