The year 2016 marks the 50th anniversary of the launch of the first Swan yacht. When he founded Nautor’s Swan in 1966 in Pietarsaari, Finland, Pekka Koskenkylä set out to build high-quality, high-performance sailing yachts anchored in hundreds of years of fine Finnish boatbuilding tradition. Since then, Nautor’s Swan has produced more than 100 different models of Swan yachts, which are revered by skippers and yachting enthusiasts. The 2016 edition of the biennial #Rolex Swan Cup, hosted by the Yacht Club Costa Smeralda in Porto Cervo, Sardinia, is the finest opportunity to experience the Swan’s heritage and passion in action.
