The new OverShadow is an inboard- powered GT version of the successful Swan Shadow with more accommodation
OverShadow
Entering the ruthlessly competitive power boat market was something that Swan thought long and hard about. It was clear that while they knew they could build a power boat to the same exceptionally high standards as the sailing yachts in their range, there had to be a very good reason for them to do so. Originally the idea was to create a
tender for their superyachts, to provide owners with a 360-degree experience. Swan Shadow was the result and once launched it attracted a great deal of
allow simple and effective gear changes. The 108’s deck layout is deceptively
smart. Clean, uncluttered and elegant, this is also a layout that combines practicality with comfort. Twin wheels and pedestals are positioned close to the control lines while the ample guest cockpit amidships is not only in themost secure area of the boat but can be configured in a variety of ways. The aft deck also has plenty of space
for lounging and sunbathing, while the spacious fold-down bathing platform has already been nicknamed the terrace by the sea. Below deck, the wide variety of colour
schemes ranges from timeless classic through traditional navy and wine colours,
interest. With its ability to explore bays and ports that are not easily accessible to a big yacht, it was clear that Swan Shadow could deliver a broad range of benefits while looking completely at ease with the Swan family style. Since its launch, its success has led the
Nautor Swan teamto develop OverShadow, the next generation of inboard engine, gran tourismo configuration withmore accommodation below decks and a capacity for longer trips. Outside, the flush deck offers great

that the saloon accommodation gives the feel of a high-end apartment where you feel in touch with the outside world,’ he continues. ‘But while contemporary looks are very much in evidence with the 108, modern thinking for systems behind the scenes has been just as important. ‘The move towards hybrid systems
has seen a focus on achieving a greater capacity for the hotel loads,’ Pomati says. ‘Silent running at night is important to our
liveability with an outside wet bar and galley plus a two-metre-long sunbed with a wide dining area around them. The full, closed bow creates more space
below deck, where OverShadow offers two alternative layouts: a double bed or a twin bed configuration where both options offer a larger and better appointed heads compartment than their predecessor. Using the same successful and efficient
hull shape as Shadow, the Swan OverShadow will be unveiled at Cannes Yachting Festival this summer.
clients but the demands are extending into daytime activities too where operating the boat, the air conditioning and cooking facilities without running the generator is a familiar objective for many. ‘Fromhere the second goal is to include
motoring without noise, while the third phase is to achieve a large proportion of this through hydrogeneration while sailing.’ The bottomline is that while family looks
are important in a brand and a range that has been famous for its appearance, it is clear that evolution continues to be a crucially important part of the development of any new Swan. And here the 108 looks set to be one of Nautor’s finest.
