The Swan 60, designed by German Frers and constructed by the renowned Nautor shipyard in Finland, represents a hallmark of performance cruising and offshore capability. With only 28 units built, the Swan 60 is a rare model, celebrated for its refined aesthetics, superior build quality, and exceptional seakeeping.
DAKINI (Hull No. 19) is a 2000-commissioned, owner’s version with three cabins, extensively upgraded and meticulously maintained. She is one of the very few units equipped with a full carbon fiber mast and Park Avenue boom, optimizing weight distribution and enhancing performance under sail.
Engineered for both blue water cruising and competitive racing, DAKINI combines high-performance sailing characteristics with onboard systems typically found on much larger yachts, delivering safety, comfort, and autonomy in remote cruising grounds.
