ClubSwan 43, ONDA

Broker’s Comments

The ClubSwan 43 is a modern high-performance sailing yacht that combines the excitement of one-design racing with the comfort and practicality of a fast cruiser. Developed by Nautor Swan and designed by renowned naval architect Juan Kouyoumdjian, the yacht represents the latest evolution of the successful ClubSwan range. It was conceived as a true crossover yacht, capable of competing at the highest level in both one-design regattas and ORC-rated offshore racing while still providing comfortable accommodation for short cruising adventures.

Measuring 43 feet in hull length and approximately 47.8 feet overall including the bowsprit, the ClubSwan 43 features a lightweight composite hull with carbon-fibre reinforcement, a powerful fractional rig, and a deep performance keel. These elements work together to deliver exceptional speed, stability, and handling across a wide range of wind conditions. The yacht is equipped with a spacious cockpit that has been optimised for efficient sail handling, making it suitable for both professional race crews and experienced amateur sailors.

Below deck, the ClubSwan 43 offers a surprisingly practical interior for a racing yacht. Designed by Lucio Micheletti, the layout includes three cabins, a galley, a navigation station, and a single head. The interior balances lightweight construction with modern styling, ensuring owners can enjoy comfortable overnight stays or short coastal cruises without compromising racing performance.

One of the yacht’s greatest strengths is its versatility. Owners can compete in the dedicated ClubSwan One Design circuit, enter prestigious offshore and inshore regattas under ORC rules, or spend weekends cruising with family and friends. This flexibility broadens the yacht’s appeal beyond pure racing enthusiasts and reflects the growing demand for performance yachts that can fulfil multiple roles.

Overall, the ClubSwan 43 showcases Nautor Swan’s commitment to innovation, quality craftsmanship, and competitive sailing. With its cutting-edge design, impressive performance, and refined accommodation, it sets a new benchmark for modern racer-cruisers and is expected to become a strong contender on the international racing circuit while remaining an enjoyable yacht for recreational sailing.

ONDA has been very lightly used, with her current team for a short period, she has been launched and raced briefly in light winds to iron out any wrinkles, and now is available for the next owner to have a new yacht experience with the added advantages of being ‘run in’!

ONDA has also had the keel upgrade, with more lateral stability and deeper bulb to increase performance on the racecourse.
