Nautor's Swan
[citation needed] The original designer Sparkman & Stephens had a long association with Nautor and were responsible for the first 775 yachts sold.
These early designs combined a luxurious interior in a fiberglass hull with features that were then current in successful racing boats, such as the separation of the skeg-hung rudder from the keel.
To mark a return to selling racer-cruiser sailboats and the company's 50th Anniversary, a design competition led to Nautor working with Juan Kouyoumdjian to create the ClubSwan 50.
[citation needed] In late 1969 the assembly hall of the Nautor's Swan boat yard burnt to the ground, destroying a dozen hulls in various stages of production.
As a result, Pekka Koskenkylä was forced to sell stakes of Nautor's Swan to Wilhelm Schauman Oy (UPM) in order to finance the rebuilding of the yard and to restart production.
[citation needed] The third plant is in Kronoby, close to Jakobstad, and it is here that expert carpenters work, dedicated to the hand-made preparation of the wood interiors, which have become a feature of all Swan yachts.
Since 2013, a "Rolex Swan Cup Caribbean" regatta has been held at the Yacht Club Costa Smeralda's clubhouse in the British Virgin Islands.
[citation needed] The ClubSwan is a brand based yacht club that also organises and runs a series of annual cruising rendezvous and regattas.
