1999 Nautor Swan 44MKII

Annapolis, Maryland

$239,000

GRYPHON is an exceptionally fine example of the ever popular Swan 44mkII. There are some features about GRYPHON that make her unique. Instead of being a two head boat GRYPHON was built with one head, aft and to starboard, while the second head, forward and to port, has been built by Nautor as a dedicated stall shower only. Additionally the headsail roller furler is a hydraulic Reckmann system. Other features include a newer and larger engine, electric winches, generator and air conditioning.

Since 2022, GRYPHON has sailed out of Annapolis, MD. Prior to this GRYPHON had spent the majority of her life in the New England area with long winter lay ups helping to keep her in the spectacular condition she is in.

The photos of GRYPHON were taken in 2021. They will be updated as soon as she is commissioned for the 2024 season.

A viewing of GRYPHON is highly recommended. You will not be disappointed.
