Nautor's Swan closes October celebrating important firsts

The aim of the event was to present the Nautor’s Swan world at 360°, with its evolving history, in fact, the past 10 days have been a carousel of activities dedicated to Swan owners, prospects and VIPs.
With the inaugural ceremony on October 13th, the Finnish brand opened the week with the first edition of the Swan One Design Worlds. The very first stand-alone Swan OD Worlds had wrapped up on Saturday 17, with the attendance of 26 Swan OD yachts, among which 15 ClubSwan 50, 6 ClubSwan 36 and 5 Swan 45.
The newly crowned World Champions are Marcus Brennecke (ClubSwan 50 HATARI) and Lennard Van Oeveren (Swan 45 MOTIONS), while the Gold Cup winner, among the 36s is Andrea Lacorte’s CETILAR VITAMINA.
“Being able to host this event, especially during this controversial time has been something amazing” says Enrico Chieffi, Nautor Group Vice President. “Positivity was palpable and having happy sailors, coming from 11 countries to take part in our Regatta is something we are very proud of”.
October 17th was the final day for The Nations League 2020 but Marina di Scarlino will welcome the Swan One Design fleet back again for some warm up racing between March and April 2021, before the brand new start of the first leg of The Nations League 2021, scheduled from May 25 to 29.
From October 16th, the racing programme was accompanied by the Swan Private Boat Show, where the full Swan Line was on display, supported by some pre-owned yachts available for sale through Nautor’s Swan Brokerage.
