Design


The CS 80 is a super-light maxi that planes readily on many points of sail


handling of the boat while the retractable bowsprit makes the boat easier to manoeuvre during pre-starts and at close quarters, reducing windage as well as keeping the weight back upwind meaning reduced pitching in waves’.


Dual purpose boat What isn’t so apparent when looking at the deck is that this is a boat that has also been designed with fast cruising in mind. Perhaps not quite the style of cruising where the spray dodger goes up and a tender gets slung beneath davits, but the kind of casual coastal sprint where the focus is shorthanded fast, exhilarating sailing purely for the fun of it. Within just a few weeks of taking delivery of his ClubSwan 80, the owner of My Song had already done just that. There has been a great deal of effort


put into the cruising aspect of the boat, especially below decks where the Milanese studio Nauta Design have created an impressive looking interior using a variety of modules that can be slotted into place. ‘The brief was that this boat has to


be transformed from a pure racer to cruising mode in a couple of days by just two people,’ says Martino Majno of Nauta Design. ‘So there's a module that goes in the galley that is on top of the canting keel box and there are two modules which form the bed in the master cabin. It is a queen-sized bed that can be split in two and can be remounted on the sides of the boat to become two single beds so the

configuration is quite versatile.’ But for all her many attributes in either


racing or cruising mode, the success of the ClubSwan 80 looks likely to rely on whether she can convince potential owners that the benefits that this one-design, owner- driver package claims to offer can be delivered in a boat that performs in handicap racing as well. In that respect, the first signs at the Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup in Sardinia were


extremely encouraging. From a third place in her first race in


‘This carbon rocket ship can be reconfigured in hours to be a performance cruiser’


an intensely competitive fleet to a win on the final day, the message was clear: the ClubSwan 80 may have been a bold and ambitious project that was faced with many


additional challenges, but it is one that has been delivered by a company that has a habit of making good on its promises. www.nautorswan.com
