Nautor's Swan 56-003 Why Not (sailboat) for sale

Swan 56-012 is an absolute head turner with the mix of modern-classic lines and beautiful midnight blue hull.
Originally build as a luxury cruising yacht for a family but with the potential to participate in regattas
with success.
She has the standard Swan 56 interior layout with owners cabin in front of the mast and with the very
nice option, a separate shower cabin opposite the forward head. Two aft cabins and one crew cabin in
front.
She is build with the deeper High Performance keel, 390 kg heavier compared to the std keel, and with
a shorter installation surface against the hull, supported by a stronger keel frame, witch means more
weights further down the keel. The center of gravity is 45 cm deeper down than the std keel, makes a
huge difference in stability!
Ex ”Desir Bleu” spend her first year in Monaco. In the winter 00/01 she was bought by an Italian living
in New York and renamed to ”Nova”. Based in the Newport area with a full time skipper until 2010.
“Nova” was mostly moored outside the owners summer house on Long Island and only raced in a few
NYYC races the following years. She received a total deck equipment update to the absolutely latest
for competitive racing, included a new Offshore Spare Intermediate Modulus Carbon Fiber Spare instead
of her original aluminum spare and is one of only two Swan 56 with this option. Intermediate
Modulus Carbon Fiber is approximately 20% stiffer and stronger then standard Carbon Fiber. OBS!
Same dimension as her original mast and not the bigger regatta fractional rig.
The combination of the High Performance keel and the Intermediate Modulus Carbon Fiber Spars
makes her to a perfect cruising boat with small crew.
The increasing in the righting moment is significantly and the improvement in upwind and overall performance
is considerable.
From 2010 to 2014 she was stored on land at NEB in Newport. In August 2014 the current owner
bought her and renamed her to Amoress 3.
Amoress 3 is the current owners third Swan and he did a comprehensive refit in Newport with new
generator, new JP3 rudder bearing with a new composite bearing house, varnish works of her interior
