Swan ClubSwan 43 Nominated for European Yacht of the Year Award

Few yachting accolades carry the prestige of the European Yacht of the Year Award. This esteemed honour, celebrates the pinnacle of design, innovation, and performance in the boating industry. In the coming 2025 edition, the spotlight shines on the Swan ClubSwan 43, a sailing yacht, considered the ‘perfect crossover’ of a race boat and leisure cruiser, that epitomises cutting-edge technology and timeless elegance.

The ClubSwan 43, crafted by the renowned Nautor Swan, showcases the brand’s expertise in creating high-performance yachts. The ClubSwan 43, just as all the Swans, is a statement of superior craftsmanship and innovative design, with a well-thought out layout that enhances sailors’ experience on all water conditions.

The crossover of a full racer and cruiser

The ClubSwan 43 seamlessly transitions between competitive racing and leisurely cruising, making it a versatile choice for sailors. It is designed to excel in one-design events, handicap regatta ratings, and sports cruising. Here are some features that we like about the model:

The perfect deck layout

Step aboard and experience the ergonomic design features that ensure safety and ease of movement, enhancing the overall sailing experience. The deck layout and angles are optimized for both performance and comfort, with features like a chamfered coachroof and angled toerail joint that enhance safety and ease of movement on board.

The yacht’s hull and deck are constructed using vinyl ester in epoxy resin with carbon reinforcements, while the mast and boom are carbon – light, durable and easy to maintain. This combination ensures a robust yet lightweight structure, enhancing both durability and performance, making it a formidable competitor on the water.

Cutting-edge keel design: speed and agility redefined

The yacht’s performance is further enhanced by its advanced keel design. The L-shaped keel with a high aspect shape provides lift going upwind and reduces leeway, making the ClubSwan 43 exceptionally agile and fast. Additionally, the keel features a pocket at the top of the bulb to adjust the ballast without changing the entire keel, offering flexibility for different racing conditions.

Transformative interiors: racing to relaxation

Step inside the ClubSwan 43 to find a spacious and elegantly furnished interior designed by Micheletti+Partners. The layout is both practical and luxurious, featuring high-quality materials and finishes. The modular design allows for the removal of up to 80% of the interior for racing, which can be easily reinstalled for cruising comfort. The use of green materials not only enhances the aesthetic appeal but also underscores a commitment to sustainability. The interior spaces are optimised for both functionality and comfort, ensuring a pleasant experience whether you’re racing or cruising.

The nomination of the ClubSwan 43 for the European Yacht of the Year Award is a testament to its exceptional qualities and the innovative spirit of Nautor Swan.
