Broker’s Comment
The perfect Swan for transatlantic crossings or for sailing the Med.

Description
Build No. 145 of the German Frers designed Nautor Swan 48 from 2002. Well presented and continually maintained/upgraded. A very smart late-model example of arguably one of the prettiest of all the German Frers generation Swans. The German Frers designed 2002 Nautor Swan 48 “ALFA HELIX” is a beautifully designed and built cruising Swan. Her twin cockpit layout makes for safe offshore passage making, she returns very high daily mileage when offshore and will look after you in all conditions. The perfect Swan for transatlantic crossings or for sailing the Med. Dutch-flagged and Spanish (EU) VAT paid, ALFA HELIX is now offered for sale to make way for a larger vessel. She has proven herself to be a very well designed and safe sporty yacht. Even though she could sail very competitively in a race, she is also a surprisingly comfortable ship. Her excellent deck layout makes it very comfortable to sail her even one handed. The spacious high-quality interior is a welcoming change from previous ships. This boat has sailed from Lymington (UK) to Amsterdam, where she had a refit. Then she sailed to the Med. Currently she resides in the Ionian Sea in Greece under Dutch flag. She has been used privately, no ocean crossings, only cruising.
