Overview
TRAVEL, Swan 65-028 is an almost unique Swan 65 S&S– she is a ketch
rig version, with tall main mast (same as sloops) and also has the
transom from the sloop version. As such she is particularly attractive
and sails particularly well. The yacht has been with the same family
for many years (since 1981) – passing from father to son. They are only
the second owners.
Inside TRAVEL has her original layout from
build – with the closed galley option. But she does have a non-typical
saloon layout - on port side is a typical U sofa area and dining table –
but no pilot berth outboard. To starboard there is a small L sofa and
coffee table with stowage lockers forward (but none outboard). This
design gives her a wide spacious saloon. Going forward from the saloon
there are two doors – one to each of the guest cabins.
Please
note that throughout her life this yacht saw only light family use. She
has not been hard raced. She has been sailed virtually only in the
Baltic Sea area and most winters has been stored ashore. She has a
fairly light level of equipment and is manually sailed (no powered
winches). The last few years she had almost no sailing use and has been
stored on land. Although much updated in the past does now require
some further upgrades and refurbishing by a new owner.

Accommodations
Description of Interiors
From the cockpit, down the companionway steps you have the chart table to starboard.
The enclosed Galley is situated on the Port and is equipped with:
Alpes Inox 4 burner stove; Refrigeration; double sink; lockers etc.
Walking forward you come to the Saloon with horseshoe seating area on the Port side and L shaped sofa on the starboard.
From the saloon two doors lead forward – one to each guest cabin.
Each cabin has upper and lower beds and lockers in the typical Swan style.
The port cabin has a private ensuite head/shower area forward (electric marine toilet).
The starboard cabin also has an ensuite head / shower area forward (with Blake manual marine toilet) but from there you go forward into the fo’c’sle – fitted out with a V berth and lockers (this area is also easily accessible through a separate hatch on the fore deck) providing accommodation for two.
The Owners cabin is situated at the stern – access via a door aft of the chart table.
This cabin offers two good size berths (large singles / small doubles) with a seat in between. There is ample locker space and on the starboard side forward of the bed a desk unit. Opposite to port is the ensuite head / shower area (with electric toilet)
