Three units have already been sold and the first will hit the water in the summer outside the BTC (Boat Technology Centre) in Pietarsaari, northern Finland, where construction continues year-round despite the snow season typically lasting from November to May. A ClubSwan 125, designed to break many long-standing world records, is also under construction and set to launch in the autumn, while the first Swan 120 is expected to launch in early summer next year.
Maxi Swan (98, 120) is one of the yard’s three ranges along with Swan Yachts (48, 54, 58, 65, 78) and ClubSwan (36, 50, 125), the latter group all designed by Argentine Juan Kouyoumdjian, 49.
