Model: Nautor’s Swan 76

Year: 1981

SWAN 76 - TIGRIS

SWAN 76 - TIGRIS

Tigris is No 4 of 5 built. She is the only 76 with a centreboard and deckhouse configuration. Originally sold to a Greek owner, Tigris then went to the West Coast US where she was owned by a keen sailor and America's Cup sponsor.

She did the Transpac race in this ownership. She later returned to the Med where she chartered prior to being bought by a US syndicate for the World ARC. The lead member of the syndicate was one of the crew of Courageous, the S&S designed America's Cup winner. We bought Tigris in Newport R.I. in 2011.

The design of the Swan 76 was loosely based on the World Champion Maxi rater in the 1970's, Kialoa 111

S/Y Cecille, Swan 36, hull number 078, delivered from Nautor on June 4th, 1970.

Cecille was originally built for an Irish sailor in Cork. After he passed away, his son sold it to two sailors from England in 2005. After moving to Birdham Pool, near Chichester, Cecille went through a thorough refit, including treating hull for osmosis, new teak deck, engine, rigging, winches, etc etc. In England Cecille was used for cruising and racing, participating also in a few RORC races and Swan regattas.

SHAULA, Swan 37

SHAULA, Swan 37

Shaula was built in 1971 (hull number 23). She was sold to the Netherlands in the same year known as Easy Rider. Hers home port was Rotterdam in the Netherlands and the owner was J.C.W. van Dam. At the same time, the boats name was changed to Shaula.

Shaula has been raced actively in the ”inner lakes” of the Netherlands. In the 44 years the boat was in Netherlands she has been continuously improved and repaired, for example, the new Perkins (36 hp) fitted in 1993. In 1996 Shaula got her second owner. New owner renewed navigation instruments and cooker. He also installed a water heater and a cooling unit. He also renewed the fresh water system completely. In 2003 Shaula got a new teak deck and some electronics. Also, the top-sides were painted. Winches have been replaced to new ones. In 2009 her bottom got an epoxy barrier coat treatment. She had 16 sails, four of them were spinnakers.

The third owner bought the boat in 2015 and sailed her to Parainen, Finland. During this ownership, she got a holding tank, heater (Webasto) and a new cover for the motor. Also, the interior was varnished. The boat was placed on sale in the summer of 2018 since the owner wasn’t a sailor and boat was a part of an exchange in a motorboat deal.

We bought the boat in 2018. Her current home port is Helsingfors Sägelsällskap (HSS). During the winter 2018-2019 the electronics and upholstery is updated.

In Finnish

S/y Shaula on valmistunut vuonna 1971 runkonumerolla 23. Se on myyty Hollantiin samana vuonna, tiettävästi Easy Rider -nimisenä. Hollannissa sen kotisatama oli Rotterdamissa, omistajanaan J.C.W van Dam. Samalla veneen nimi muuttui Shaulaksi.

Shaula kilpaili aktiivisesti ns. sisäjärvillä vuosia. Sitä kunnostettiin 44:n Hollannin vuoden aikana runsaasti, mm. Perkins 36 hp on vuodelta 1993. Vuonna 1996 Shaula sai toisen omistajansa, joka uudisti mittaristot, lieden, asensi vesivaraajan ja kylmäkoneiston. Myös veneen vesijärjestelmä uusittiin perusteellisesti. Vuonna 2003 Shaula sai uuden teak -kannen ja elektroniikkaa. Myös kyljet uusittiin 2003. Vinssit ovat samoin vaihdettu uusiin. Vuonna 2009 pohja sai epoksiprimer -käsittelyn. Purjeita oli 16 kpl, joista neljä oli spinnuja…

Vene ostettiin vuonna 2015 Suomeen ja se samana vuonna purjehdittiin Paraisille. Veneeseen on täällä mm. asennettu septitankki, webasto ja teetetty uusi moottorikoppa. Samoin kaikki puupinnat on kunnostettu. Myyntiin vene päätyi täällä, koska vene tuli Suomeen moottoriveneen vaihtokaupassa; uusi omistaja ei ollut purjehtija.

Me ostimme Shaulan loppukesällä 2018 ja se siirtyi Paraisilta kotisatamaansa Helsinkiin, Helsingfors Sägelssällskap HSS:lle syksyllä 2018. Talven aikana veneen elektroniikkaa päivitetään, samoin patjojen verhoilut.

Tiger Lilly - Swan 47 Design #2201

The history of Swan 47/066 ”Tiger Lily”, ex. ”Alicadoo” (British flag), ex. ”Seaway Lady” (Swedish flag). Tiger Lily was launched in June 1982. She started her life under the Swedish flag and with the name Seaway Lady, homeport Gothenburg. She was sold already in November 1982 to an owner from Northern Ireland and had to change her name because the name Seaway Lady could not be registered under her new flag. Her new name became Alicadoo.

Between 1983 and 1989 Alicadoo did 6 transatlantic trips with Peter ”Stokey” Woodall as skipper. Her homeport was Vilamoura in Portugal. Alicadoo did also make several trips to the Azores from her homeport. On one of these trips, she became ”famous” as she was part of the filming of the RYA Yachtmaster video nr. 3.

Plans from classicswan.org

In August 1989 Alicadoo was bought by me. Our first sail together was from Vilamoura to Southampton, UK. It was late October so we started a life together with very rough weather. We arrived in Southampton under the Finnish flag and the new name of Tiger Lily. The flag and name were changed outside Cabo Finisterre in a force 10 storm.

During the years I have owned Tiger Lily I have made 6 transatlantic trips from Europe to the Caribbean. One of these was the cruise to celebrate Columbus 500 years since the discovery of the Americas. I have also visited Horta, Azores 4 times. Today, even with more than 130.000 nm on her log, Tiger Lily is in better shape than new after a big refit in 2008-2011.

We fell in love with the designs of Sparkman & Stephens while sailing our Swan 38-001. We made a deal for our second Swan, Céleste II, in October 2019.

Céleste II is a Swan 57 ketch and a hull number 013. She has an extended transom and the overall length is 59 feet. As far as I know, she was sold first to France, and after that, she has sailed under Finnish and Swedish flags.

Roughly ten years ago, she had a major refit. In the process, teak decks were changed, hull and masts painted, and the interior was fully varnished, engine changed, etc. The previous owner has kept maintaining the excellent condition.

PEPPER III designed by legendary Sparkman & Stephens and built by world famous Nautor’s Swan in Finland in 1974. A total of 76 hulls were built. PEPPER III is hull no 65. Most of them are still sailing all over the World. Professionals and skilled sailing enthusiasts fell in love with the model right from the launch in 1972. S&S Swan 44 won the London Boat Show Yacht of the Year award in 1973.

For her first 31 years she sailed in Italy under the name Kratos. In 2006 She was sold to the UK where She sailed under the name Solo. In 2011 she was found in relatively poor but original condition in Southern England. Her current owner sailed her back to his home water in Finland where she has undergone a complete refurbishment. Today PEPPER III is in mint condition and for sure one of the most stunning S&S Swan 44 on Planet. Despite her age and beautiful classic lines, she has an awesome sailing performance and she can be a tough competitor in the race course too! You can spot Her in the Finnish or Swedish archipelago. Homeport is HSS in Helsinki. PEPPER III crew is well known for their team spirit and welcoming hospitality. If the crew is not on board, they are usually hanging at the local bar – together with other nice sailors and people.
