German Frers-designed ocean-cruising Swan from Nautor in 2003, and the very last Swan 77 out of the mould. Beautifully presented, continually updated and ready for the season. A very special yacht by any margin.
FURTHER BROKER’S COMMENTS:
Originally ordered with shallower than standard draft to allow access to more cruising grounds around the world and an extended transom to provide even more storage space in the lazarette, GRILLO PARLANTE was launched in the summer of 2003 as the last of 10 Swan 77’s built by the Nautor yard in Finland.
