Celebrating triumph on the high seas, Swan Yachts showcased their prowess at the Ocean Globe Race 2024, after more than 220 days of sailing. Swan 651 Spirit of Helsinki soared to victory, claiming 2nd in IRC and 1st in Sayula Class, while Swan 53 Triana followed suit, clinching 3rd in IRC and 1st in Adventure Class.

Skipper Jean d’Arthuys, who has dreamt of taking part in the Whitbread Round the World Race since his youth, speaks of his immense pride in what they have achieved: “We are very proud to enter the circle of sailors who’ve sailed around the world by the three Capes. It was an amazing race, and for us it’s a fantastic adventure. When you do something that you heard was impossible to do and you do it, there is something fundamentally that changes in you. This race will change my life.”

These remarkable achievements emphasize Swan’s lasting legacy of performance and endurance in global sailing competitions.
