The Swan 46’ is a yacht which is a genuine cruiser racer and she is rare in that she excels in both roles. BALLYTRIM has been carefully maintained from new (She was built for the current owners, their third Swan) and is only for sale as the owners have bought a Swan 53, the 46’s bigger sister.

The owners are keen to achieve a quick sale.

History:

BALLYTRIM has been used primarily for family cruising.

She was delivered to the UK, sailed to the Mediterranean and has cruised extensively there. Countries and places visited include: Spain, Portugal, France, the Balearics, Italy, Corsica, Sardinia, Sicily, Malta, Montenegro, Croatia, Greece, the Ionian and Cyclades. She has recently spent the winter in the Caribbean and has sailed back via Bermuda, the Azores and Portugal.

She is very fully equipped for cruising with a very comfortable owners’ cabin and en-suite heads forward, and two double berths and a second heads aft. She sleeps eight in total including a berth in the saloon. Equipment includes: bow seat, bow thruster, safe, air conditioning and heating, awning, bimini, cockpit cushions, removable cockpit table, Fleet Broadband and Global Surfer both connected via in-boat  Wifi, large bow locker, dinghy ( with storage on coach roof ), outboard, water electricity generator etc. etc. Large fuel and water tank capacity provide significant range. She has a standard fin keel and full teak decking including on the coach roof.

Maintenance has largely been carried out by Nautor in Villefranche and also by a highly experienced part time skipper. She has plastic floor covering, protective cushion covers, and saloon table cover and has never been sailed without. She comes with a considerable quantity of engine, electrical and other spares and equipment.

BALLYTRIM has also taken part in various regattas including the Swan Cup in Sardinia, the Voile de St Tropez and recently the Voile de St Barth’s. She has separate racing sails and equipment and bespoke canvas protective covering for the interior woodwork while racing.

The sail wardrobe is extensive with good quality cruising sails, full racing sails and both asymmetric and symmetric spinnakers.  She has a storm jib and trysail with a separate trysail track on the mast. All sails are by North.

BALLYTRIM is a fabulous yacht. After a Caribbean season she has sailed back across the Atlantic, provided a family holiday in Menorca, sailed to Villefranche to transfer personal effects to the new boat and then has been sailed by a couple pretty much non- stop to the UK. She looks great, receives admiring comments wherever she goes and sails beautifully. Ideal for family cruising, club or offshore racing and maybe the next ARC or something further afield.

RCD Status: The yacht conforms with the essential safety requirements of Directive 94/25EC (Recreational Craft Directive) and is categorised A – “Ocean” (or Cat B – whichever is appropriate)
