The Swan 46, with 109 hulls completed, is one of the most successful Swans ever. Successful, not only as an exciting yacht that fulfils everyone's expectations of style and luxury, but also as a club racer.

ECLIPSE was delivered to her first owner in June 1983 in Scotland as a competition version Swan 46 and with a 3 spreader tall rig and deep keel. After a very successful few years of racing, the interior was modified for cruising.

She was bought by her present Finnish owner in Mallorca in May 2001 and wintered 2001/2 in Portugal. Subsequently this classic Frers design Swan 46 Mk 1 went through a significant refit in winter 2002-3 and further works 2003-4 at the specialist Nautor refit yard “Xpilia” in Kokkola, Finland (very close to the build yard). These refits included - new teak decks, overhaul of rig, deck hardware repositioned and replaced, new electronics, central heating added, modified keel, addition of the aft entrance to the aft cabin and a major engine overhaul with zeroing of hours.
