Nautor’s jaw-dropping 125ft super-maxi racer is set for launch in May in Pietarsaari, Finland. Billed as the “fastest monohull ever conceived”, the Clubswan 125 has undergone intensive work in recent months.

Its hull has been painted a gleaming black and wrapped with a yellow design that runs from the tip of the imperious bowsprit to the twin rudders aft.

The innovative C-shaped daggerboard foil has been painstakingly lifted into its midships slot, and the radical canting keel attached.

“Designing a racing sailboat, able to reach a speed in the region of 15 knots upwind and that will always be faster that the wind speed downwind is something unique,” says designer Juan Kouyoumdjian.

The cockpit cuddy makes the Swan slightly reminiscent of his iconic Volvo 70 design. “I truly believe Clubswan 125 will raise the stakes in the sailing world and set a milestone in the whole marine industry,” he adds.
