Swan 44, Pepper III, sailing

[@AMERICANPATRIOT1945]

I gotta get me one of these! This boat goes like a freight train to windward and it tracks well and goes well on all other points of sail. Modern designers should take a cue from these older designs with a bit less beam, fine entry, deep forefoot, slack bilges, and a wineglass hull shape. This boat actually has a comfortable motion at sea and a deck plan plus an interior that works at sea. What a wonderful boat!

I could not agree more! It is a beautiful boat and behaves very well!

Designed by Rod Stephens and built by Nautor, arguably the best Swan ever. she is simply the best of all worlds !

Thank you! Actually mast and almost all deck and mast gear are original but after completely refurbishment project 2012 the condition is even better than new. At the Swan Archipelago Regatta 2012 Pepper III got the price "Best kept Swan". Latest video you can find from KZbin too.
