Overview

A fantastic example of this evergreen German Frers Swan from Nautor in Finland.
With just three owners since new and extensively refitted in recent years to make her perfectly suited to short-handed cruising, she represents a great opportunity to go acquire one of these legendary Finnish fast cruisers at a very realistic price.

EPSILON CYGNI was originally launched in March 1990 and was named ‘KING OF HEARTS’. She was based on the South Coast of the UK where she was raced and cruised on the Solent and English Channel. Sold to her second owner in 2002, she was refitted to make her easier for a couple to go short handed sailing. This included Harken furling gear, B & G autopilot and a Lofrans electric anchor windlass. Electric secondary/spinnaker sheet winches were added which are capable of sheeting in the genoa. In this second ownership, and still named ‘KING OF HEARTS’, she competed in the two handed Azores and Back Race, the Yachting World Triangle Race, a few RORC races and various club races before heading off for a 13 month cruise to the Canaries, Caribbean, Panama, Galapagos Islands, Chile, Cape Horn, Argentina, Brazil, the Azores and back to the Solent.

Sold to her third and current owner in the Autumn of 2011, she was renamed EPSILON CYGNI and refitted in Lymington which included a professional repaint of her topsides to white (she was previously painted dark blue), replacement standing rigging, new B&G instruments, new batteries, various electrical and plumbing upgrades. In 2014 the engine driven refrigeration system was replaced by two separate compressors running off the service batteries (or shore power) to provide cooling for the large refrigerator and separate freezer.
Since then, her owner has continued the program of refit/upgrades.

Please Note. EPSILON CYGNI is presently Norwegian flagged and we have been advised that she is VAT paid in both the EU and in Norway.

 

 

GENERAL


MANUFACTURER’S COMMENTS:

Outstanding performance needs no longer be sacrificed top the demands of a comfort and convenience in a modern cruiser/racer. With the Swan 44, Nautor takes this one significant step further. By teaming the renowned talents of naval architect German Frers, stylist Andrew Winch and its own design group, Nautor has produced an outstanding yacht, fit to take the serious sailor anywhere, in speed, security and uncompromised comfort.
The Swan 44 is clearly a development of the revolutionary Swan 36, as her many unique design details amply demonstrate – wrap-over windows, a light and spacious interior and efficient sail-handling systems. But she also has numerous claims to her individuality – she is a realization of what contemporary design can achieve.
The Swan 44 continues Nautor’s tradition of quality and craftsmanship, while combining it with innovative design and technological advances, to guarantee a performance cruiser that sets new standards.

CONSTRUCTION

Hull Construction:
The hull is built of GRP by the hand laying-up method, using a layup with high glass content.
Single skin construction is used, with a synthetic surface mat for increased resistance against water penetration.
Stiffeners are laid up over foam cores and reinforced with unidirectional GRP, resulting in an
extremely stiff structure.
Structural bulkheads are of marine grade water-proof plywood laminated to the hull.
Engine beds are of GRP with steel inserts.
The hull-deck join is sealed with polyurethane-based mastic, through-bolted on 100mm centres and stiffened with an aluminium toe rail.
The keel-stepped mast sits on a metal mast step with movable shoe for mast rake adjustment.
Laminated reinforcements on the main bulkhead for the through-bolted stainless steel anchor
plates, which are connected with tie rods to the through-deck chain plates.
High quality NGA gel coat is used, giving improved weather durability and high water resistance.
Double gel coats are used over the entire hull.
