SAILING YACHTS- NEW CONSTRUCTION/ BROKERAGE/ CHARTER



Clevelander Under Sail

Review- Swan 82DS

"Clevelander"

Nautor's Swan has long been recognized as one of the premier builders of world sailing yachts and "Clevelander" represents another leap forward in their ever expanding design fleet. This 82 Deck Saloon was built in 2004 and has been recently refitted in 2010-2012. During this period “Clevelander” was given a new hull paint job, new running rigging, a new mainsail, jib and staysail, all new soft goods and the interior was changed to the original design layout with Nautor's assistance and wood selection.

"Clevelander" is a German Frers design and is an exceptional performer with a decidedly hi-tech build. Hull construction is single skin using a glass/Aramid hybrid fiber vinylester laminate with local carbon fiber reinforcements. Much of the schedule is unidirectional which makes for a very stiff laminate with excellent strength and fatigue properties. Structural bulkheads are composite construction, using a Nomex cored carbon fiber epoxy prepreg and laminated to the hull and deck.

The spars are carbon fiber including a Leisure Furl boom. All sails are North and include a new suite of Carbon Spectra in (2010), Carbon and a new Gennaker on quick furl system in (2013). Winches are Harken electrics with the exception of a Rondal hydraulic captive winch used for the mainsheet. These powered sail systems make "Clevelander" exceptionally easy to handle and allow her to be sailed with a small crew.

Depending on your crew requirements "Clevelander" can accommodate 6-8 guests in the 3/4 stateroom layout. One of the cabins forward was designed to be dual purpose and can be used for guests or crew as needed. The deck saloon design offers a wonderful open and airy feel with a C-shaped dinette to port and a settee and bar to starboard. Nav station is aft to starboard at the base of the companionway. The walk-thru galley steps down forward of the saloon and gives access to the 2 guest/crew cabins. Aft of the saloon are 2 guest cabins and master stateroom all with ensuites.

Deck spaces are uncluttered and the cockpit is a wonderful lounge area as sail handling can be accomplished from the aft dual helm station. Fore and aft deck spaces provide for sun bathing; and the hydraulic opening transom gives access to storage for water sports gear and acts as a swim platform for diving and a passerelle for Med-mooring arrangements.

The attention to detail throughout on "Clevelander" is outstanding. In the selection of materials great emphasis was given to weight savings in all areas which makes for impressive performance in what is first and foremost a luxury world cruising yacht. Nautor continues to advance the art of composite yacht construction and has to my way of thinking the perfect blend of performance, comfort and safety. If you are looking for a world class sail yacht she should be on your short list, because with her recent price reduction she won't last long.
