Description
This stunning and iconic modern classic has been lovingly maintained and constantly upgraded by her current owners – she is ocean ready for extensive blue water sailing.
Upgrades and improvements include a new engine in 2021. This stunning usable classic is ready to turn heads on her next adventure. Equally at home as a fast family cruiser, or easily managed shorthanded or fully crewed chasing silverware.
This much-loved member of the family must find a new custodian to make way for her larger sister ships arrival.
WINGBEAT is being sold on behalf of her owners by the Sales Manager for Nautor Swan in the UK.
WINGBEAT is a beautifully maintained and presented S+S Swan 38, ready to sail next season.
A note from the owners: 'Honestly, the only things that I am aware of that need attention are, the sprayhood needs replacing, the No.2 headsail is very tired, I intended to replace it this winter and have quotes to do so. As I am sure you are aware the big thing with these boats is the condition of the teak decks Wingbeatdeck is in very good, most of the teak is showing over 7mm left.'
