The Swan 601 is a high-performance racer cruiser that is as competitive today as when the first boats were launched in 2006. Full carbon construction utilizing SPRINT technology has kept the displacement to a very modest 18,000 Kg despite the full cruising interior as expected on every Nautor’s Swan yacht.
