GENERAL DESCRIPTION

RED SKY is one of the iconic Swan 100s roaming the five oceans today. Conceived by her very deliberate, thoughtful, and experienced owner, this pilothouse model offers exceptional separation from business and pleasure. It is safe and comfortable for all and very smartly laid out for efficient captain and crew operations. RED SKY remains in a state of grace, given constant care, upgrades, and love by her second owners and very caring crew. RED SKY boasts a carbon fiber mast and in-boom furling, captive real winches for headsail, mainsail, and mainsail halyard, allowing single-handed sailing by the captain from joystick controls at each helm station, all for ease of sailing operations.RED SKY is a 30m/100ft composite sloop of German Frers design built by Oy Nautor Ab (Nautor Swan) in Pietarsaari, Finland. Custom-built for her original owner, she has been managed and maintained by a professional crew of three since her launch in 2003. RED SKY has never been chartered or raced (she participated in the 2025 St. Barths Bucket). The yacht has been used for family sailing and has seen light use. Annual care, general maintenance, upgrades, and scheduled service intervals have always been adhered to. RED SKY is now offered for sale by her second owner, who continues to offer generous priority, ensuring RED SKY is always kept in Bristol condition, both mechanically and cosmetically.

Forward of the cockpit settee is the aft end of the cabin house with a built-in refrigerator, storage compartments, and a starboard companionway that leads to the main salon below. For sun and wind protection in the cockpit deck lounging and dining areas, a recently fitted, custom carbon hard dodger and hard top adds an exceptional dynamic to the overall feel of the yacht with fixed shade at rest or under sail. Side curtains can drop down to create a three-sided enclosure for further protection or privacy. All offer excellent protection from the elements, either underway or at anchor. The interior of the entire yacht is finished with satin varnished teak bulkheads, cabinetry and sole. The overhead is finished with soft acoustic Ultra-Leather fabric. Lighting throughout is 24V; Recessed overhead lights have been upgraded to LED and additional incandescent side lamps, all with bulkhead mounted switches.Additional rope lighting in the salon.
