Nautors Swan 65 - King's Legend


Swan 65 - Kings Legend
Introduction.

King's Legend is a Swan 65, which is considered by experts to be the Rolls Royce of sailing ships. In 1977, during the legendary and incredibly challenging Whitbread Around The World race, which covers more than more than 27,000 sea miles, taking competitors via Cape Horn to the other side of the world.
The crew sailed her into 2nd place behind the race winner the Dutch Flyer. In 1999, Gijs van Liebergen, the present skipper, sailed the ship back to Holland and converted the racer into a sailing ship fitted with every modern convenience, but without ruining the original design. That is why the King's Legend is so perfectly suited to provide small-scale events for the business community on corporate sailing days and teambuilding sailing days.

Season 2008 to 2009
From June until September we sail in Holland and England.
King's Legend will be available for day trips or channel crossings as well as Cowesweek.
