Nautor's Swan Yachts for Sale

The Nautor’s Swan shipyard is located in the small Finnish town of Pietarsaari, just a short distance from the Arctic Circle. On this icey stretch of coast, Nautor’s Swan have been building boats since 1966 and the Swan range is known throughout the world. In a build environment where temperatures can fall to minus 30 degrees celsius, and the sea can be frozen for up to five months of the year, advanced engineering excellence is a core part of the yard’s DNA.

Nautor’s Swan handles everything from the design to the finest details in a fully integrated in-house building process. The smaller Nautor’s Swan hulls, for cruising yachts, are hand laid-up and vacuum-infused, while the larger models are constructed in foam-core carbon, which has huge weight-saving benefits.

Swan yacht buyers can also enjoy membership of ‘Club Swan’ – a non-profit organization for past, present and future Swan sailing yacht owners. The Club organizes various regattas, including the ‘Rolex Swan Cup’, the ‘Swan European Regatta’ and the ‘Swan American Regatta’ and these are run in association with the Yacht Club Costa Smeralda, the Royal Yacht Squadron of Cowes and the New York Yacht Club, respectively.

Today, with more than 50 years’ of heritage, Nautor’s Swan is globally recognized as an undisputed leader in the international sailing market.

History of Nautor’s Swan Yachts

The Nautor’s Swan Shipyard was founded in 1966 by Pekka Koskenkyla, a man with an inspiring vision to produce high-quality, high-performance sailing yachts for those passionate about cruising, racing and seeking contact with the ocean and nature. Pekka, educated in the USA, had the foresight to engage Sparkman & Stephens of New York, one of the most acclaimed yacht designers at the time, to design the first sailing yacht. The vessel was built in fiberglass and trimmed with wood – materials which would dominate the production of vessels in the years to come.

The first sailing yacht model from the Nautor’s Swan shipyard was the Swan 36, and this led to the Swan 37 and Swan 43, with the latter winning the Admiral’s Cup in 1969.

That same year, fate’s fickle hand dealt the Nautor’s Swan yard a catastrophic blow. The Assembly Hall caught fire and burnt to the ground, destroying with it a dozen hulls in various stages of production. Pekka was forced to sell stakes in the company to finance the yard’s rebuild and see production resumed.

When the yard was re-established, the larger and more elegant Swan 55 and Swan 65 yachts were born. Partnering cruising capability with racing prowess for the typical owner and recreational yachtsman, the designs were immensely popular. Testament to their racing ability, it was a Swan 65 (named SAYULA II) that won the first Whitbread Round the World Race in 1973/74.

In the late 70’s and early 80’s, Nautor’s Swan engaged naval architect Ron Holland as their designer of choice. Holland designed five boats for the yard, of which approximately 300 units were produced.

The mid to late 80s saw Swan enter another new era of design, this time with the appointment of German Frers. Along with a string of great successes in models under 80 foot (24m), Frers was also responsible for Swan’s first Maxi models; the Swan 80, Swan 90, Swan 100, Swan 105, Swan 110 and Swan 115 – with the 115 seeing the yard cross over into superyacht territory.

Frers’ contribution to Nautor’s Swan also permitted them entrance to the ‘one design’ racing sector, with the design of the Swan 45 in 2001. This was followed by the ‘Club Swan 42’ in 2005 which was developed in association with the New York Yacht Club.

In 2002, a new yard, close to the sea, was opened in Jakobstad. The new yard is dedicated to the assembly of the Maxi Swans, building the Swan 60 through to the Swan 115.

In 2017, Nautor’s Swan opened their Boatbuilding Technology Center. Here, there are facilities dedicated to joinery and high-tech lamination, a post-cure oven, painting halls, and areas for warehousing and logistics. The close proximity of the engineering and manufacturing departments results in an efficiency that is rarely seen.

Nautor’s Swan has been controlled and managed by Leonardo Ferragamo and his group of investors since 1998.

Nautor’s Swan is recognized as a leader in the international sailing market.

The Nautor’s Swan collection

Known today as ‘Swans’, the modern yachts built by Nautor’s Swan owe their success and acclaim to the original Swan 36. This first design, which featured a number of significant innovations, offered a level or performance and safety that equalled that of traditional wooden vessels yet the lighter fiberglass hull provided greater steering ability and enhanced living space. The Swan 36 marked the beginning of what would become one of the most prestigious boat yards in the world.

The Swans of the ‘70s and ‘80s were designed by the award-winning naval architect Ron Holland. German Frers took over as Swan’s naval architect of choice from the mid to late 80s, and he designed many highly successful models under 80 foot (24m) for the shipyard.

Swan’s first Maxi yacht models were also designed by Frers: the Swan 80, Swan 90, Swan 100, Swan 105, Swan 110 and Swan 115. The 115 brought Nautor’s Swan into the superyacht sector and the skills of Frers’ have again been employed for the design of Swan’s latest sailing yacht, the Swan 120.

Whether you’re looking for a pre-owned Swan or considering a new build from the Nautor’s Swan Shipyard, Northrop & Johnson are able to advise on every aspect with brokers who have specific sailing yacht knowledge and experience.

Factors Affecting Cost

Buying a yacht in Russia is a rather time-consuming and lengthy process that requires the participation of professional yacht brokers. Depending on the condition of the vessel, the year of manufacture, the quality of its equipment, class and size, the acquisition cost can vary greatly. There are several indicators on which the cost of buying a yacht will depend :

  • Manufacturer, or shipyard - the most famous manufacturers with expensive products are concentrated mainly in European countries, and the most budget yachts are assembled in shipyards of the countries of Asia and the Middle East;
  • Equipment - sometimes the internal filling is made to order, and in some cases it is standard equipment with less power, comfort, speed, etc. In this regard, the cost of ships even from one manufacturer can vary greatly;
  • Ship design;
  • The age of the yacht.

Also, sailing yachts for sale in Russia cost the buyer less than similar motor lengths, but yachts with a history do not always cost less than recently launched ones. Often, the previous owners are engaged in the modernization of the vessel, installing expensive additional equipment on it or customizing the yacht - in this case, the price for it increases significantly. And sailing yachts often participate in regattas, where they can take prizes and eventually acquire a name - this also leads to a rise in the cost of the vessel.

Note that the cost of a yacht in Russia will be significantly different depending on the length of the vessel. You can always check the final cost of the vessel with a yacht broker, and since this market is very lively, the price can change even during the time during which you pick up a yacht.

You can find out the price of the selected vessel and its technical parameters in our catalog, and you can leave a request for purchase directly on the website, online. To choose a yacht for purchase , you can use the help of our broker for the sale of yachts - our specialists are in collaboration with their colleagues around the world to be able to cover the entire market. Ask our manager your questions to get detailed information on the yacht you are interested in.

We wish you success in conducting transactions on the yacht market!

Tesla Cybertruck

There are over 140 ‘used’ tesla cybertrucks for sale.

Avatar for Fred Lambert

There are over 140 Tesla Cybertrucks for sale om the “used” market and the prices are all over the place.

As we previously reported, Tesla did its best to discourage the reselling of early Cybertrucks, but it didn’t completely stop it.

The automaker added a no-resale clause to its order agreement and blacklisted some owners who listed their early Cybertrucks for sale.

It didn’t stop some from making a significant profit – sometimes selling Cybertrucks for twice their MSRP.

However, the days of making over $100,000 in profit selling the Cybertruck are gone.

That’s because many more are now available for sale in the used market after Tesla ramped up deliveries. Last month, we learned, thanks to a recall, that Tesla produced just short of 4,000 Cybertrucks since the beginning of production in November 2023.

The automaker also confirmed that it produced 1,000 Cybertrucks in a single week in April – confirming that the production ramp is happening.

With the electric pickup truck becoming less of a rarety, the used inventory is going up and the prices are going down.

CarGurus is currently listing 148 Tesla Cybertrucks for sale in the US:

used swan yachts for sale

Most of them appear to be very low mileage (under 1,000 miles), which would seem that they are owned by people looking to slip them, but there are also quite a few over 1,000 miles – meaning that they could be from people who drove them for a while and decided against keeping them.

The prices have come down quite a bit, with several Cybertrucks in the $120,000 range, which is still $20,000 over the MSRP to be fair.

A handful of owners are still trying to get $200,000 for their Cybertrucks, but it isn’t likely to happen since we have seen the truck go for only about $150,000 in big auctions.

Electrek’s Take

Top comment by quix.

I'm not sure how big the total addressable market for these is, but I don't think it's even a fraction of what the scalpers thought it would be. I hope a bunch of them lose their shirts.

The Cybertruck’s uniqueness factor compensated a lot fo its price coming much higher than originally announced and its specs below what was announced.

But that “uniqueness” factor fades as more vehicles are getting delivered.

On top of that, there’s quite a limited market for trucks over $100,000.

The Cybertruck program appears to still be riding its early buzz, but it is going to need its cheaper trims to be able to start really ramping up.

Michael Cohen Tells of Being Trump’s Lawyer, Fixer and ‘Designated Thug’

Mr. Cohen had the amorphous title of executive vice president of the Trump Organization and “special counsel” to Donald J. Trump.

  • Share full article

Former President Donald J. Trump in a crowd.

By Maggie Haberman ,  Jonathan Swan and Ben Protess

  • May 13, 2024 Updated 1:47 p.m. ET

He was known by many titles — “lawyer,” “special counsel,” even one he gave himself, “designated thug” — but when Michael D. Cohen’s testimony began Monday morning at the criminal trial of his former boss, Donald J. Trump, he was asked about the most common: fixer.

“It’s fair,” the witness acknowledged, before describing the job.

He tried to manage what the news media said about Mr. Trump, even the puff pieces. He instructed the National Enquirer, wary of how it would play among women, not to mention that Trump used to date a Penthouse magazine model.

Over time, Mr. Cohen became a key player in the catch-and-kill deals described to jurors over several days of testimony thus far. Mr. Cohen said Monday that when he learned of Karen McDougal, a Playboy model who said she had an affair with Mr. Trump, his response was: “She’s really beautiful.” Mr. Cohen says he warned Mr. Trump that Ms. McDougal was shopping her story, and Mr. Trump told him to “make sure it doesn’t get released.”

They enlisted the help of The National Enquirer, whose parent company, American Media Inc., ended up paying $150,000 to buy the rights to her story and then bury it .

The Links Between Trump and 3 Hush-Money Deals

Here’s how key figures involved in making hush-money payoffs on behalf of Donald J. Trump are connected.

By then, in the lead-up to the 2016 election, he talked to Mr. Trump every single day, by phone or in person at impromptu meetings that began, “Boss, do you have a second?” he testified. Mr. Trump avoided email, because of a fear of creating a paper trail, potentially for prosecutors, he testified.

His work included scouting the occasional deal, including foreign projects that never materialized, like a plan for a Trump Tower in Moscow.

But more often, Mr. Cohen’s duties were in line with a description he has given himself: “designated thug.”

There was the time, Mr. Cohen recounted in one of his books, “Disloyal,” that he threatened to tank a paint company with bad publicity to get thousands of gallons of free paint for Mr. Trump’s golf resort outside Miami.

And the time Mr. Cohen hired a computer programmer to rig an online CNBC poll to ensure that Mr. Trump would rank among the most influential business people alive.

And the time he threatened to ruin the college admission prospects of a child whose family was a tenant in a Trump building, so that they would not obstruct a renovation.

Mr. Cohen also helped Mr. Trump draft some of his nastiest social media snipes, including at fellow celebrities such as the actress Rosie O’Donnell.

He also protected the Trump family, emails and other records show. He helped Mr. Trump’s youngest son, Barron, find a private school. He helped his oldest, Donald Trump Jr., dig out of an ill-fated business venture. And, on occasion, Mr. Cohen has said, Mr. Trump put Mr. Cohen on the phone with his wife, Melania, to reassure her that he hadn’t been unfaithful.

Mr. Cohen was also one of the strongest believers in Mr. Trump as a possible president when he flirted with running in 2012, setting set up a website, ShouldTrumpRun.org, and going on a scouting trip to Iowa.

Although he had no formal role on the 2016 campaign, Mr. Cohen nonetheless raised millions of dollars, recruited Black supporters and was an enthusiastic booster of Mr. Trump on television.

But his greatest service came behind the scenes, arranging payoffs to two women who had threatened to go public with stories about having sex with a married Mr. Trump. One of those, to the porn star Stormy Daniels, is at the heart of the case against Mr. Trump.

Mr. Cohen made the payment out of his own pocket just before the 2016 election and was reimbursed by Mr. Trump, who prosecutors say falsified business records to disguise the reimbursement as ordinary legal expenses.

In August 2018, Mr. Cohen pleaded guilty to a number of crimes, including breaking campaign finance laws with those payments. During his plea, he told the court he had paid the hush money “at the direction of” his former boss.
