| Here are the
14
other Nautor 43 Swans we are aware of (plus one Big Sister). Note that ownership and location details may have changed since Scorpiosail was last informed. Updates and corrections are appreciated.
For specifications of the model, check the FACTSHEET. How do they sail? Check SHOULD I BY A NAUTOR 43? We would like to find more of the sisters. 24 Nautor 43s have been launched, so there are still 9 unaccounted for. If you find one, please let us know. (Click on photos for larger versions) |

We found
CHAMPAGNE on the hard in Chestertown, MD, USA, in the fall of 2001, but didn't get a chance to look for her owner. Six years later we met him, Jim Huber, by coincidence, on the docks in Whangarei, New Zealand, where he visited by air (see

One of them or both may of course be one of the 14 yachts already listed here. An educated guess is that the sloop is hull #7 INSPIRATION. |
