Big dudes in Monaco

Swan 100S to join other sailing superyachts at the Monaco Yacht Show

Nautor’s Swan will be displaying the Swan 100S, Julie Marie, at the forthcoming 2007 Monaco Yacht Show which will take place from 19-22 September. The 17th edition of the Monaco Yacht Show will be held in Port Hercules. The Swan 100S is the largest model of the 2008 SwanLine and showcases many of the new technological innovations and developments seen in other SwanLine models, demonstrating the ongoing evolution of the marque say the manufacturers.

The Nautor’s Swan stand will be located in the “Quai des Etats Unis” at stand number QE2, where the company will also offer visitors the opportunity to view its full portfolio of products and services. Julie Marie will be available for viewing at mooring E17 and will give visitors the opportunity to go onboard and examine the yacht’s craftsmanship above and below deck. The seventh Swan 100S to be launched, Julie Marie features a semi raised saloon and new deckhousing with a unique cherry wood interior and white stained ash veneer.

Enrico Chieffi, Vice President of Marketing and Sales for Nautor’s Swan comments: “We are delighted to have a presence at one of the most prestigious yacht shows in the world for what will be the 17th time. The Monaco Yacht Show continues to grow year on year, and with the focus purely on luxury yachting, it is only right that Nautor exhibits one of its most important models at the event. With boat building technology developing at such a fast pace, Monaco provides a valuable opportunity for us to be able to show potential buyers, and the industry, how we are harnessing new innovations to produce yachts which offer perfect handling whether in a cruising or racing environment.”

The Frers designed Swan 100S further develops Nautor’s building philosophy of the superyacht, that of providing comfortable accommodation without compromising performance, and is the largest of nine models announced in the 2008 SwanLine.
