From 1998/9, MAGICAL is a superb example of the Nautor Swan 56 by Frers. A rare find, she is a one-owner yacht built to an exacting specification for an ex-Olympic sailor and has enjoyed fastidious, detailed maintenance throughout her life. She features the preferred centreline aft-cabin layout and an impeccable interior – MAGICAL is clearly a well-loved member of a very keen sailing family, and it shows throughout. The rig and boom are seamless white-painted carbon by Hall Spars, fitted in 2009 and checked and serviced annually, with the most recent out-of-yacht inspection in 2024.
