Dear friends,
2020 has been a very challenging year for us all, we might say it has been trying and difficult but we should admit it’s also been a great teacher.
It taught us to “Never Give Up”, and this lesson enabled us to reach great achievements despite the challenges of these times.
We’ve learned to be virtually closer, adopt new ways to work and socialise and we learned how to be alone without feeling lonely.
This past year has also been a year of great achievements, possible thanks to the great passion of Nautor’s people, the same passion that leads our future.
We have great expectations for 2021 and on top of our list is meeting you all again,
Fair winds,
Giovanni Pomati
Nautor Group CEO
NEWS FROM THE YARD
The New Swan Maxi Era
Swan 88 - A PURE CRUISER, WITH A RACING SOUL
ClubSwan 80 – A NEW CONCEPT FOR THE MAXI YACHT WORLD
With the success of the ClubSwan 36, 50 and 125 models, the range is renowned as the highest performing, most innovative and most technologically advanced segment of the company. And yet, there was still an exciting opportunity to complete the ClubSwan line with a new model.
The ClubSwan 80 has been conceived to be a very fast and high-performance yacht, completely in line with her sisters, based on the concept of One Design yachts.
All the boats are specifically designed to sail in short-distance racing, participating in the traditional events of the maxi circuit and specialized in light to medium winds (VMG sailing).
Racing has been in Swan’s DNA since the very beginning and the brand’s thrilling regattas are the most eagerly awaited events by our owners. Since 2002, when the Swan 45 was first launched, Swan started on this route and today its One Design circuit of events is one of the most successful in the world, with a consistent number of yachts participating.
Obviously, the ClubSwan 80 will take advantage of this well-established, worldwide circuit of events, which is why the Nautor’s Swan Racing Office is developing its dedicated One Design class rules. One of the most important rules, as for all OD racing regattas, is the owner driver, where the owner of the yacht must helm the boat; this allows passionate owners to sail at a very high level while still being manageable and in a friendly environment. The program drafted for the ClubSwan 80 Class will have five events a year, with 25 days of racing, one winner, and a dedicated world championship that will be a standalone event.

Swan 95 Lot99 Refit at Oy Nautor Ab
Swan 95, Lot 99, boasts an exciting and diverse yachting narrative which includes no less than a 55000nm circumnavigation. During her round-the-world trip Lot 99 rounded the Cape of Good Hope and participated in the RORC Caribbean 600 race.
The owner says: “Lot 99 is a very comfortable boat that makes you feel confident under any circumstances. Below deck, it is very quiet and comfortable and on deck, she is very responsive to the helm and greedy for wind. Although you always feel in control, it never becomes boring. The boat is very well balanced and easy to trim. She is a joy to sail. And a joy to be on. We like to call it home…”
Lot99 is now back at our facility in Jakobstad for an extensive refit period which includes service and warranty work. She'll be launched in June 2021 again in a perfect shape for her future adventures, whether enjoying the thrills and spills of racing or indulging in unsurpassable comfort on a family cruise.
