2000 Nautor Swan Nautor Swan 112 RS

MYSTERY, part of the Swan 112 RS series, is a 113′ / 34m top pedigree composite performance cruising yacht designed by the famous German Frers. She has a favoured layout including four en-suite guest staterooms plus crew berths for 4/5 and is a phenomenally capable world cruising yacht. Meticulously maintained throughout her life, and displayed in stunning condition, she is ready for whatever adventure awaits her next. Delivered in 2000, she has enjoyed substantial refits over the last ten years, which have included a complete repaint, new teak deck, new sails, electrical systems refitting, electronics and A/V replacements and all areas and systems serviced. Nautor Swan, one of the premier composite sailing yacht builders of series production yachts, commissioned German Frers Sr. to design a flagship for the Swan fleet in the late 1990s. Subsequently, a total of five Swan 112’s were built and delivered. MYSTERY is 112/02 and was delivered in late 2000 as NO LOGIC. She differs from her sisterships in having a wraparound deckhouse windshield and single saloon “up” layout. Her interior was designed by Dick Young. While classic in style, she offers enormous volume for both guests and crew. The Frers design pedigree is evident in MYSTERY, with her easily driven hull form and powerful sail plan. Nautor engineered her systems and machinery to mega yacht levels of quality and redundancy. The Swan 112 series is the pinnacle of Finnish yacht building excellence in design, fit, finish, and systems. The hull is of single skin construction built in female mould using glass fibre reinforced vinylester laminate. A high proportion of the fibres are unidirectional, giving a stiff laminate with excellent strength and fatigue properties. Structural bulkheads are of foam-cored plywood sandwich construction and laminated to hull and deck. Stiffener flanges are unidirectional lay-ups. Engine beds are of GRP with steel inserts. Special care is taken to ensure rigid foundation and proper adhesion to hull. When I was looking for a yacht, I knew that I wanted a yacht with a strong pedigree, equally strong build quality and a yacht that was capable of taking my family and I long distances efficiently and in total comfort and safety. We have been fortunate in our years of ownership to have seen and explored some of the world’s most wonderful places, animals and oceans, and MYSTERY has truly provided us with everything that we ever wanted in a yacht. Throughout our time as owners, we have always believed and been committed to making sure that MYSTERY should not only be safe and functioning perfectly, but that she should always be modernised and in keeping with her surroundings as time, fashion and expectations have evolved, and we firmly believe that we have achieved this and continued to do this right up until now, as MYSTERY has just received a brand new suit of Doyle Stratis sails. Sadly now, after many years of memories and miles at sea, it is time to pass MYSTERY onto the next very lucky owner, and I hope that whoever buys her enjoys her as much as I and my family and friends have done.
