<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?><span><p><strong>Remarks :</strong><br></p><p id="isPasted">ISKANDER is a 2002 <strong>Nautor Swan 44 Mk II </strong>— hull number 169, the final example of this highly regarded German Frers design to leave the Pietarsaari yard. As the last of the line, she represents the most complete and refined version of a model that earned a lasting reputation for offshore performance, build integrity, and the understated quality for which Nautor Swan is known.</p> <p>Originally launched as Kilkenny and supplied through Swan Italy, she has had just two careful owners and has been lightly used throughout her life. Never raced hard, she spent her formative years sailed on freshwater out of Chicago before being relocated to Europe and refitted at Nautor Villefranche in 2012, at which point the rod rigging was renewed and EU VAT formally paid on importation. A new North Sails wardrobe followed in 2013. She is now offered for sale in the Ionian in very good overall condition, ready for the coming season with minimal preparation required.</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Highlights Listed below but included in Full Specs:</strong></p> <ul> <li>Final production hull — No. 169, Swan 44 Mk II</li> <li>Three-cabin / two-heads layout</li> <li>Volvo Penta MD22P diesel, saildrive</li> <li>Rod rigging (2012)</li> <li>Mast repainted (approximately 12 months ago)</li> <li>North Sails wardrobe: fullbatten main and furling jib (2013)</li> <li>Spectra watermaker</li> <li>Cruisair reverse-cycle air conditioning</li> <li>Eberspächer diesel heating</li> <li>Teak side decks and cockpit</li> <li>Hydraulic backstay and vang</li> <li>EU VAT paid</li> </ul> <p> </p> <p><strong>BROKER'S REMARKS</strong></p> <p> </p> <p>ISKANDER is a yacht that inspires confidence from the moment you go aboard. The Swan 44 Mk II has long been regarded as one of Nautor's most balanced offshore designs — a hull that is equally at home on extended Mediterranean passages as she is on a relaxed day sail in the Ionian. As the final hull of the series, she holds particular appeal for buyers who understand what the Swan name represents and who want to own the definitive version of a respected model.</p> <p>Her light use, freshwater origins, and two careful owners form a reassuring ownership story. The 2012 refit at Nautor Villefranche and the subsequent North Sails commission confirm a pattern of sensible, quality-focused investment. The vendor's attention to upkeep is evident throughout.</p> <p>Below deck, the Burmese teak joinery and teak and holly sole create a warm and properly finished interior, and the three-cabin arrangement works well for a couple with guests aboard. The twin heads layout means privacy is maintained without compromise. On deck, the cockpit is deep and secure, and the flush deck design with control lines led aft makes ISKANDER straightforward and rewarding to sail short-handed. With air conditioning, watermaker, and Eberspächer heating fitted, she is well equipped for extended cruising and comfortable in a wide range of conditions.</p> <p>An excellent opportunity not to be missed. Early viewing is recommended.</p><br>

<strong>Accommodation :</strong><br><br> <p> </p> <p><strong>ACCOMMODATION</strong></p> <p> </p> <p>ISKANDER's interior is finished in rich Burmese teak joinery with a teak and holly cabin sole, complemented by cream leather upholstery. The result is a warm and welcoming interior, properly finished in the Swan tradition. Large overhead hatches and opening side ports allow excellent natural light and ventilation throughout, and LED ceiling spotlights and reading lamps create a comfortable atmosphere below at anchor or on passage. Headroom throughout is generous for a yacht of this length.</p> <p><strong>LAYOUT</strong></p> <p>The three-cabin arrangement comprises a forward cabin with V-berth converting to a double using a centre infill, with good stowage beneath and in lockers, and direct access to the forward heads compartment. The main saloon features an L-shaped settee to port and a straight settee to starboard — both usable as sea berths — centred on a large folding table with an integral battery cabinet. An aft cabin to port provides a large double berth and hanging locker, served by the second heads compartment. Both heads compartments are fitted with a marine WC, basin, and shower.</p> <p><strong>DOMESTIC</strong></p> <p>The galley is equipped with a 3 burner gas cooker with oven, a microwave, a top-loading freezer, and a combined top and front-loading refrigerator, with double stainless steel sinks and pressurised hot and cold water. Domestic hot water is supplied via the engine calorifier. Two internal shower compartments are fitted, along with a cockpit shower. Cruisair reverse-cycle air conditioning serves the accommodation (One unit 3 outlets). Eberspächer diesel heating is installed throughout. A stereo system with speakers is fitted, along with a clock and barometer.</p><br>

Constructed in Finland and certified under US Coast Guard Builder's Certification (CG-1261), she was supplied new through Swan Italy to her first owner in Chicago, Illinois. During the first phase of her life she was sailed exclusively on freshwater on Lake Michigan, accumulating light hours in a particularly benign environment.</p> <p>Her current owner subsequently acquired her and relocated her to Europe. In 2012 a comprehensive refit was carried out at Nautor Swan Villefranche, including the replacement of the standing rigging with rod rigging and the completion of formal EU customs importation, at which point French TVA was paid in full. French registration (Acte de Francisation) was initiated at Cannes at the same time. In 2013, a complete new North Sails wardrobe was commissioned, comprising a full battened Dyneema mainsail, a 108% furling jib in Dyneema, and a lazy bag. The mast has been repainted within the last twelve months.</p> <p>Throughout her life ISKANDER has been consistently and carefully maintained. She is now offered for sale in very good overall condition and represents a genuine opportunity to purchase a well-found Nautor Swan at a realistic price.</p> <p> </p> <p>  </p> <p>The Nautor’s Swan 44 Mark II (often written “44 Mk II” or “44 (Frers)”) is a high?end Finnish performance/cruiser sailboat designed by German Frers and built by Nautor’s Swan between about 1996 and 2002. It is widely regarded as a classic bluewater cruiser?racer with excellent sailing performance, strong offshore capability, and very high build quality.</p> <p><strong>SAFETY</strong></p> <p> </p> <ul> <li>Life raft: to be confirmed</li> <li>EPIRB: to be confirmed</li> <li>Flares: to be confirmed</li> <li>Fire extinguishers: fitted</li> <li>MOB equipment: fitted</li> <li>Jackstays: fitted</li> <li>Electric bilge pump</li> <li>Manual bilge pump</li> </ul><br>
