DREAM CATCHER III was originally launched by Nautor as a centerboard version of the Swan 60.    In 2001, the then owner (who also had several previous Swans), took her to Hamble Yacht Services in the UK, and refitted with a Nautor supplied fixed keel and rudder (new bearings).  

RCD Status: Our understanding is that the yacht is exempt from the essential safety requirements of Directive 94/25EC (Recreational Craft Directive) as she was built and placed into use within the EU prior to 1998.
