This is a very engaging 'buyers look' at a beautiful boat. Thank you!

Cool boat but more of a project than she appears, if new owner wanted to convert to capable blue water cruiser. I'd lose the in-mast furling, for one. Give 'em a lowball offer! : )

OK! you said to give our thoughts! I am watching this video in Jan of 15 of 2017; however I want to say whats on my mind. I feel this boat will help build your youtube channel and that where you will earn the most return on your money. Your intellienece will teach us how to live thrue you on a boat like this. I feel that this will build you chater business faster then the other boat's because you have tons of armchair quatebacks to help you fix her up. Please give my thoughts some food for thought. building a family around this is the key you need to understand. Love the Orphan ; because we all our orphans.

Beautiful boat. I first took notice of the Swan 46 when I found an online site/blog documenting the circumnav of a Swan 46 called Out of Bounds. I looked up Joy after seeing your video. Yachtworld has it pending. $180K ask... wonder where it sold. How much do you think it would have taken to refit?

That boat is awesome. The Perkins looked like it had a new injector pump on it. 179k plus refit costs. I say go for it.

I am wondering if the sails saw the light once (no pics). I would not trust the rig components outside the Gate in spring like conditions. I can see a $150k refit right there and that is without touching the deck, electronics and paint. That said who does not dream of owning one of those !

Wow! What to say....
on one hand I'm thinking that's an amazing opportunity. It could almost be stolen from the owner. The owner is looking for his second best day of being a boat owner.
There are to many people out there that don't appreciate what they have.
CRAZY! So sad.
This story is probably more common than I realize. Boats are a labor of love.
And they demand a lot of it......... 😎 -
I love it! If I could afford it at the moment I would consider it.

I think that's a nice looking Swan. It must be a wide beam to because of the space it looks like it has. But like you say it might need more than is visible. 94 is 23 years and wiring and electrical could have a problem not to mention plumbing and gaskets. Killer motor too. Always run the best oil in your motors and they'll last you forever. duralube.com I do like what I saw for under paint though. It looks like it might be that copper paint. If it is, that's made to last 100 years. I've got my heart set on Catamarans. I'm always watching eBay and I have other boat brokers who send me adds too.

Our trip to San Francisco included a stop to look at a 1994 Nautor Swan 46. The Swan 46 MKII (1989-1997) and 48 (1995-2002) were both German Frers designs, and featured dual aft cockpits separated by a traveler. Two separate companionways made them a unique product on the market, and they are both solid bluewater boats with a reputation for being bulletproof in foul weather and big seas. This one was in need of some love, but was also the least expensive Swan 46 on the market (in the US) at present. With a little TLC, she could be a find.
