ClubSwan 80

The ClubSwan 80, the latest member of the ClubSwan range, once again demonstrates that this division of Nautor Swan offers yachts that are based on the values of style, speed, innovation, technology and competitive sailing potential.

The fast, fun and innovative Maxi completes the ClubSwan yachts range, and sits alongside the small but technogically advanced ClubSwan 36 with which it shares some features for ease of handling such as the advanced hull form, the sail plan, and the innovative underwater appendages. The model sits between the ClubSwan 50 which marked a new era in One-Design, and the super maxi ClubSwan 125, which is already a proven winner with overall victory at the Rolex Fastnet Race and line honours at the Caribbean 600 2022.

The ClubSwan 80 was built by Persico Marine – Nautor Swan’s strategic partner – and an international shipyard renowned globally for its expertise in building high-performance racing yachts. The ClubSwan 80 design answers a specific brief for a fast Maxi optimised to race with an optional interior that allows owners to enjoy time at sea between races.

This model is specifically designed to race inshore, for medium range offshore events and for the traditional Maxi circuit.

The new model features a canting keel of 4.75m, which is proving to be a great compromise between having a very fast, deep keel while also allowing the yacht to enter into harbors and ports without any limitation.

The ClubSwan 80 has twin rudders, as usually adopted in its new shape as designed by Juan Kouyoumdjian (as happened for ClubSwan 36), and a canard. More specifically, a rotating canard has been adopted for sailing in short racing in light/medium winds (VMG), but also to grant greater flexibility in the tactical situations that are very common in the tight fleet racing.

The very long, retractable bowsprit, together with the very light displacement related to the canting keel, makes the yacht a real monster downwind, providing an enormous amount of fun while sailing.
