Swan 48 for sale:

DRAGON

There are surely not enough accolades to describe this incredible 2003, Swan 48, named DRAGON.

DRAGON, the second to last Swan 48 built and first launched in 2004, was originally specified to the highest level for a west coast repeat Swan owner.

15 years with the current and most fastidious owner, DRAGON is in spectacular condition benefitting from a 2022 refit (see below) including carbon spars, powered roller furling boom, new sails and other upgrades.

DRAGON is ideally suited for single or double-handed sailing, family cruising or distance racing.

Bottom line, for the most discerning of buyers, I am confident you will not find another Swan 48, on or off the brokerage market, that comes anywhere close to the spec you will find on DRAGON.

DRAGON defines a true "sail-away" vessel.

Full service records are available.

Serious prospects only please.
