Nautor Swan 651

Smart 651 with hydraulic furling rig, and custom interior. New deck 1998 and stacks of updates 2006/08 including genset, rig rework and new electronic widgets.

The Swan 651 was conceived as a fast cruising yacht. Originally named WHITE SWAN this yacht was built for an experienced owner and delivered in the spring of 1983. She has a powerful sloop rig but for ease of handling she has a Reckmann mast with hydraulic furling and hydraulic outhaul for the mainsail, also hydraulic furling headstay and powered sheet winches.

Always well maintained, lightly used, never chartered, WHITE SWAN remained in her original ownership until summer 1999. The yacht was refitted during 1997/98. The main items of the refit included - a new teak laid deck, simplified deck layout and complete rig overhaul. The whole yacht was subject to a thorough inspection, with servicing, refitting or replacing of any parts as deemed necessary. Following her change of ownership in 1999 the yacht underwent further improvement and the addition of much new equipment – including, air conditioning, water maker (not operated in this ownership and condition unknown), Inmarsat system, computer and radios. WHITE SWAN then sailed to the Caribbean and Florida before returning to Palma. In the summer of 2001 she changed hands again and was renamed ASTERI. The yacht underwent further refurbishing, including new cabin sole boards, new upholstery and other items. She subsequently crossed again to the Caribbean, returning to Europe in the summer of 2002 and was subsequently lightly used in the UK. In this ownership she has cruised in Scandinavia and proved herself to be a perfect family cruising yacht. She has been substantially improved and updated including the fitting of a new generator, a new enclosure system for the aft cockpit and upgrade or service of all the main systems as well as repaint and overhaul of the rig. She has been returned to the South Coast of the UK to be offered for sale. 2010 has seen further upgrades with a new electric bow thruster which makes handling ASTERI very easy shorthanded, full re-varnish of the interior, new refrigeration, new cream leather upholstery and new mattresses in all the cabins.
