This Swan 45 was first launched in 2003.  A great all-round boat, the Finnish sailboat was designed as a one design racer-cruiser with a huge European fleet which competes in both inshore and offshore events.  While no stranger to the CYCA's blue water races, the yacht will be competing in its first Rolex Sydney Hobart under the guidance of current owner Malcolm Roe.
