Hello Boater
Nautor Swan Arrow:
The New Dark Knight
NAUTOR WARMS-UP WITH SAN LORENZO. Nautor Swan is located near the top of the world in Finland, just 250 miles south of the Arctic Circle. For 55 years it build exclusively sailboats and has been widely regarded as the top sailboat builder as well. In August, Nautor Swan was purchased by San Lorenzo, which is located on the Italian west coast between Portofino and Pisa, so the mix of stoic Nordic industriousness, and the joie de vivre of the Italians should produce a compelling combination. The 77' (23.46 m) Arrow (seen above) debuted at the 2023 Cannes boat show in September, the flagship of the brand's 3- boat powerboat fleet. She's a dayboat on deck, and sumptuous cruiser below, with a galley down and 2 or 3 stateroom layouts. San Lorenzo is known for pampering its ultra-wealthy clients as only the Italians know how to do, so Swan's customers now have a real treat in store when they visit the factory -- in sunny Italy, instead of near Lapland.
