Swan 44 mk II RUSE for sale with Yeoman Yachts
Swan 44 mk II for sale:

RUSE

RUSE was purchased in 2002 by her present owner, with one prior owner. For most of the time RUSE was sailed in New England and especially Nantucket Sound. The owner has greatly enjoyed cruising and double handed racing, including races to Bermuda.

Over the past 20 plus years under present ownership, a great deal of care and attention has been given to RUSE including replacing the engine, standing rigging, some electronics, rudder, numerous sails for cruising and racing, leather upholstery and re-varnishing the interior woodwork.

In the winter, Ruse has been stored in a heated boat shed.

They just don’t come much better than this! Inspections are highly recommended.
