DESCRIPTION
Swift yacht for sale
If you’re looking to purchase a piece of sailing history, then this could be the yacht for you.
The 32m Swift was beautifully converted from the world’s fastest racing catamaran into an equally fast cruiser in 2010 and still reaches speeds of over 30 knots under sail.
Designed by Gilles Ollier and built at the Multiplast yard in 2000, she has notched up numerous achievements and accolades including Innovation Explorer for the Around The World Race for G Class catamarans and the 2002 record for the Jules Verne Trophy as Orange. Ellen MacArthur sailed her as Kingfisher 2 in 2003 and in 2006 she joined the record-breaking Gitana Team, racing under the name Gitana XIII.
Swift’s record 43 days New York to San Francisco, 11 days San Francisco to Yokohama and 41 days Hong Kong to London still stand.
Jacky Setton bought her in 2010 to travel the South Pacific, and she underwent a six month refit at Lorient, transforming her into a cruising yacht with light and comfortable accommodation for up to 6 guests. Even so, special care was taken to keep the weight as close as possible to her ’round the world’ racing configuration with only 3 tons added in total.
Swift is listed for sale by Fraser Yachts and Bernard Gallay Yacht Brokerage asking €2.95 million.
