The ClubSwan 125 isn’t for the faint of heart. It takes a certain sailor to step up to the helm, but those who do will experience a high-performance yacht in a class of its own. This is the most extreme Nautor Swan – ever built.
Superyacht-sized and incredibly nimble, the ClubSwan 125 embodies a science of weight reduction and efficiency. Ingeniously, Nautor Swan was able to keep this 42-62-metre sailing yacht below 66 tonnes. The complexity of the ClubSwan 125 is unmatched. It features an innovative single curved foil solution, considerably reducing hull drag and loss of dynamic righting moment. A canting keel, operated by a titanium ram on the port side, is complemented by a smaller secondary backup ram on the opposite side. Its sails are North 3Di.
Adriana Monk of Monk Design was commissioned for the interior design, which mirrors the overarching philosophy: high-performance, lightweight, functional and comfortable. The brief was to create a welcoming environment below deck that shields occupants from the harsh elements of water, wind, and sun. The colour scheme and choice of materials are open to interpretation and customisation.
The general arrangement of the ClubSwan 125 is versatile, and the full-beam owner’s cabin can be split into two guest cabins with ensuites by adding a centerline bulkhead. The racing-style crew area is located aft. A notable feature is the engine room, which has been positioned forward of the mast to isolate the owner and guest cabins with a buffer zone from noise and service paths.
The ClubSwan 125 is a ferocious high-performer that represents a significant milestone not only for Nautor Swan but in the history of yachting.
