Nautor Swan To Build New 40m Maxi Series

Nautor Swan has announced a strategic endeavour to build a new sailing Alloy 40+ metres range. For Nautor Swan, this venture represents a bold step into the American market, not just in terms of size but also material, introducing a new range of sailing yachts designed for a discerning and forward-thinking clientele.

The project is built on a vision to elevate Nautor Swan’s global presence, furthering its legacy in the maxi yacht segment, and strengthening the reach of the new alloy range across the world. It also marks another significant step in the Nautor Swan for America initiative that began with the partnership with American Magic, aiming to re-energise sailing in the United States.

Massimo Perotti, Executive Chairman of Sanlorenzo, the parent company of Nautor Swan, explains:

“We acquired Nautor Swan to complement our product offering, entering the sailing segment with the most iconic brand. Sanlorenzo and Nautor Swan share similar values, catering to a club of “connoisseur” yachtsmen who are passionate about the sea. We are actively exploring new markets, and have exciting plans ahead of us with sailing also positioning itself as a sustainable choice.”

The Finnish shipyard is working on multiple fronts, with the new alloy range standing as one of its most pivotal initiatives. This range is designed for an important market segment, where owners are eager to finally own a Swan-branded yacht and become part of the Swan legend.

The first yacht in this alloy range will be designed by Malcolm McKeon Yacht Design, whose design philosophy combines performance, comfort, and innovation with elegance and modernity. McKeon’s expertise will push the boundaries of performance while retaining the timeless beauty and tradition for which Swan yachts are renowned, while also ensuring the authenticity of the Swan experience for new and existing customers.

The alloy sailing yachts will honour Nautor Swan’s iconic aesthetic while focusing on protection, comfort, and long-range cruising ability, with no compromise to sailing performance. Sustainability will be at the core of every design, incorporating cutting-edge solutions such as hydrogeneration and other eco-friendly technologies already experienced by Sanlorenzo including methanol and hydrogen.
