English
The Swan 601 is a high-performance sailing yacht – very light for her size and designed to sail at high speeds. She embodies the Nautor Swan vision of a top-class IRC design Racer/Cruiser. She utilises the most advanced building techniques and materials, without compromising on the classic lines and beautifully crafted interiors, which are associated with every Swan built. ‘Les Amis’ has been carefully designed in terms of deck layout, exterior finish and interior details to provide a striking looking boat which races competitively under IRC as well as providing a comfortable home whilst cruising (and racing) offshore.
