Blue-hulled extended transom and performance keel equipped Nautor Swan 68. No.12 of 24 launched and presented in sparkling condition. Versatile 4-cabin, 4-heads, plus crew layout within her very special red teak innards.
FURTHER BROKER'S COMMENTS:
As hull No.12 of 24 Nautor Swan 68's launched between 1990 and 2004, ELYSION BLUE is a truly fantastic example of one the most successful of all larger German Frers designed Swans, and certainly one of the most beautiful. Often cited as 'the one to have', even Nautor's president Leonardo Ferragamo can lay claim to past ownership of a 68.
Launched in March 1996, ELYSION BLUE benefits from an extended transom hull, with large lazarette lockers and an elegant reverse transom, along with 3.60m draft bulbed performance keel, complete with matching tall rig configuration, making her one of the fastest of the 68's, and an ideal candidate for mini-maxi racing as well as effortless fast cruising.

4-cabin, 4-heads, plus crew interior layout with centreline double aft owner's cabin and two double guest cabins forward.
