The last weekend in March provided 10 spectacular sailing yachts by Nautor Swan with the perfect Sydney day, characterised by sunshine as well as a pleasurable breeze, to fully enjoy all that Sydney Harbour has to offer.

The Swan Rally 2012 started perfect with Veuve Clicquot opening the proceedings at the Cruising Yacht Club of Australia with each Swan crew in matching branded Swan Shirts, provided by Vicsail. It was very fitting that it ended perfectly with all the owners receiving beautiful Salvatore Ferragamo ties and scarves for the ladies.
The course for the Swan´s yachts was set out East to Shark Island, under the famous Harbour Bridge, and around Clark Island finishing back at Rushcutters Bay. The event was very special for all the owners with many of the Swans out for the first time in a while.
The owner of the sailing yacht Swan 90, Die Swaene provided the rock star excitement for the day, handing over the Skipper position to a long time sailing mate, Simon Le Bon, the 1980’s icon from rock band Duran Duran. After the rally, Simon joined everyone for the after race refreshments and camaraderie that the Swan fleet is renowned for – and mentioned that he looks forward to being part of the event next year!
