Swanson 36 CAPABLE CRUISING YACHT WITH MANY UPGRADES!

Designed by the renowned Swanson Brothers as a strong and capable Bluewater Cruiser, the Swanson 36 has certainly remained highly sought after. Many have completed circumnavigations, and their impressive sailing performance has also been utilised for offshore racing. This vessel is an excellent example of the design and is only on its second owner from new! The current owners purchased the vessel in 2016, and were very familiar with the design having completed multiple Sydney Hobart Yacht Races on a Swanson 36, including finishing the terrible 1998 race. Being incredibly impressed with the seaworthiness of the design, they purchased this vessel for extended cruising and significantly improved it including a NEW MAINSAIL AND FURLING HEADSAIL, NEW ANCHOR CHAIN, NEW TQM AUTO PILOT, NEW STAINLESS STEEL DINGHY DAVITS, LOWRANCE CHART PLOTTER, NEW HARKEN PRIMARY WINCHES, BOOM BAG WITH LAZY JACKS, NEW 3 BURNER STOVE, the list goes on!
