SWAN'S CRUISE AT THE SWAN NEW ENGLAND RENDEZVOUS 2010

29 July to the 1 August saw 12 Swan Yachts cruising in the unique Swan New England Rendezvous in league with the Jamestown Boatyard held in Newport, RI, USA. The event was a true success and took the Swan fleet on a stunning route through breathtaking East American waters, whilst providing the opportunity to enjoy a range of lively social events that are synonymous with Nautor’s Swan.

Although relatively new, the Swan New England Rendezvous has already evolved from a mainly US based profile of participants to now having a truly international guest list. The mixture of international and American Swans entered into the Rendezvous ranged from 39 – 100ft. The route itself took Swan guests from Newport’s idyllic beaches to Cuttyhunk and the Block Islands, where they enjoyed beautiful scenery, steady winds and tranquil island views.

The last day of the Rendezvous saw the Swan fleet partake in a scenic Island Race, providing some friendly competition. The Newport winds did not disappoint the Swan fleet as the yachts sailed a record setting pace for the Island Race; with a late day wind shift the Swan fleet had a spinnaker start and finish. Children joined the crews on board for this last race of the Rendezvous making it a family affair. The Swan New England Rendezvous is the perfect opportunity for friends, couples and families alike to enjoy sailing within the esteemed Swan fleet. The race was won by Xenophon, Swan 44, in the non-spinnaker division and Destiny, Swan 46, in the racing division.

After a pleasant sail in the 33°C American sunshine sailors were able to enjoy cocktails and superb dining during the evening social events. Highlights of the Rendezvous included a lobster bake, a barbeque on the beach and entertainment from singer / songwriter Cassandra Kublinski. The final stop for the Swan fleet was at Jamestown Harbour where the final prize giving and barbeque was held on the beach.

Nautor’s Swan Rendezvous programme of cruises is growing enabling more Swan yachts to participate and enjoy the true spirit of Swan. The next Rendezvous will be the Rolex Swan Cup Rendezvous in Porto Cervo, Sardinia, 13-19 September.
