Swan 82 S Sailboats for Sale & Market Overview

The Swan 82 S represents a pinnacle of the "modern classic" era from Nautor’s Swan, a period defined by the transition toward carbon-reinforced construction and the sophisticated naval architecture of Germán Frers. Introduced in the early 2000s as a successor to the legendary Swan 80, the 82 was engineered to offer a more versatile platform for owners who demanded a competitive racing pedigree without sacrificing the amenities required for global circumnavigation. The "S" designation stands for Semi-raised Saloon, a configuration that cleverly balances the aggressive, low-profile aesthetics of the Flush Deck (FD) version with the increased interior volume and panoramic visibility typically reserved for the Raised Saloon (RS) models. By utilizing a slightly elevated coachroof with wrap-around windows, the 82 S provides a bright, airy social hub while maintaining the clean, uncluttered deck lines that are the hallmark of the Finnish yard.
