2004 Nautor Swan 62 FD 'Uxorius IV'
About This Yacht
As hull number one of an exclusive seven-yacht series, 'Uxorius IV' represents the pinnacle of Nautor Swan's legendary craftsmanship in the 62 FD line. This rare brokerage opportunity combines the Finnish yard's renowned bluewater pedigree with the refined elegance and exceptional sail handling characteristics that have made Swan yachts the choice of discerning sailors for over five decades.
The Swan 62 FD stands as a testament to timeless design philosophy, where classic aesthetics meet modern performance cruising capabilities. With her moderate displacement hull and powerful sail plan, she delivers the exhilarating performance expected from the Swan lineage while providing the comfort and luxury for extended passage-making. The full-beam salon positioned amidships creates an unusually spacious social hub, featuring a generous wooden dining table to port that seats six comfortably, complemented by elegant armchairs and a settee. To starboard, the dedicated navigation station with full chart table provides a proper workspace for passage planning, while the comprehensive galley ensures culinary capabilities rival shoreside living.
The interior showcases Swan's commitment to superior joinery, with beautiful teak throughout finished in a sophisticated satin that highlights the wood's natural grain. Teak and holly floorboards add traditional maritime elegance underfoot, while the thoughtful layout maximizes both living space and functionality. This particular vessel has been professionally maintained to the highest standards, with systematic upgrades ensuring she remains current with modern cruising expectations while preserving the classic character that defines the Swan experience.
Whether contemplating Mediterranean summers, Caribbean trade wind sailing, or ambitious ocean passages, 'Uxorius IV' delivers the confidence-inspiring construction and blue-water capability that has made Nautor Swan the benchmark for serious sailing yachts. Her rarity on the brokerage market reflects the loyalty these exceptional yachts inspire in their owners, making this an uncommon opportunity to acquire a meticulously maintained example of Finnish yacht building excellence.
Machinery & Systems Propulsion is provided by a reliable Cummins 4BT3.9-M marine diesel engine producing 97kW (130hp), offering ample power for maneuvering in tight quarters and motorsailing in light conditions. With approximately 8,100 hours on the engine, she has been properly exercised and maintained according to manufacturer specifications. The four-blade propeller configuration optimizes thrust and efficiency while minimizing vibration. The yacht's fuel capacity supports extended range under power, while the robust electrical system includes house and engine start battery banks with sophisticated monitoring. A high-output alternator ensures adequate charging capacity for extended passages, while shore power integration provides convenience in marina settings. The freshwater system includes substantial tankage for extended cruising, complemented by climate control systems for comfort in all conditions.
Navigation & Electronics The navigation station serves as the yacht's command center, equipped with comprehensive electronics for safe all-weather passage-making. Modern chartplotting systems provide intuitive route planning and real-time position tracking, while radar integration offers collision avoidance capability and weather monitoring. Autopilot systems reduce crew fatigue on long passages, seamlessly integrating with wind instruments for optimal sailing angles. VHF radio communication ensures contact with shore stations and other vessels, while AIS transponder technology provides enhanced situational awareness in congested waters. Depth, speed, and wind instrumentation deliver critical performance data to both helm positions and the navigation station. The electronics suite has been systematically updated to maintain current standards, ensuring reliable operation and ease of use for both experienced sailors and those new to the Swan ownership experience.
Accommodations The accommodation plan sleeps six guests across three beautifully appointed cabins, with an additional forward crew cabin that can accommodate two or serve as dedicated sail storage. The master stateroom provides a private sanctuary with generous berth dimensions, dedicated hanging lockers, and ensuite head facilities. Two additional guest cabins offer comfortable accommodations with proper headroom and natural light from hull ports and deck hatches. The heads feature marine sanitation systems with holding tanks, while elegant countertops and quality fixtures elevate the experience beyond typical yacht facilities. The full-beam salon represents the social heart of the yacht, where the large wooden dining table creates a proper gathering space for meals and conversation. The comprehensive galley is positioned for efficient meal preparation, featuring quality appliances including refrigeration, freezer capacity, a proper marine stove with oven, and ample counter space with secure fiddles. Abundant storage throughout ensures extended cruising capability without sacrificing organization or accessibility.
Deck & Exterior The deck layout exemplifies Swan's commitment to efficient sail handling and crew safety, with wide side decks protected by substantial stanchions and double lifelines providing secure movement forward in all conditions. The cockpit is designed for both spirited sailing and comfortable cruising, with ergonomic seating, excellent visibility from the helm position, and strategically positioned winches for efficient sail trimming. Primary winches are within easy reach of the helmsman, while secondary winches are optimally positioned for halyard and reefing operations. The swim platform provides easy water access for swimming and tender operations, while dedicated storage solutions keep lines, fenders, and equipment organized and accessible. Deck hardware throughout reflects Swan's uncompromising quality standards, with robust cleats, fairleads, and turning blocks engineered for reliability under load. The sail handling systems feature modern furling solutions that allow short-handed operation without compromising performance, while the deck-stepped mast and swept-back spreaders contribute to the yacht's elegant profile and powerful sail plan.
