Built in 1975 by Finland’s Nautor Swan and refitted in 1999 and 2012, the SWAN 65-1 (King’s Legend) is a Sparkman & Stephens-designed sloop that marries maritime heritage with contemporary luxury. Originally a competitive racer, she was transformed by owner Gijs van Liebergen into a graceful performance cruiser, retaining her iconic teakwood interiors and slender profile. Accommodating guests in timeless style, SWAN 65-1 sails the West Mediterranean in summer and the Caribbean’s Windward and Leeward Islands in winter, offering corporate regatta adventures or serene cruising holidays at an exceptional value.
