Project Swan 57 CC - Lady Christina

Nylunds Boathouse, a Finnish powerhouse in maritime craftsmanship, has recently completed an impressive refit of the Swan 57 CC Lady Christina, a German Frers-designed sailing yacht celebrated for its timeless elegance and seaworthy performance. This iconic vessel, a proud creation of Nautor Swan, has been brought back to peak condition through Nylunds’ expert hands, with the entire process captured in a captivating YouTube series.

Lady Christina embodies the classic Swan aesthetic—low freeboard, a slippery underwater profile, and an extended reverse transom that enhances her graceful lines. The refit focused on refreshing her hull, upgrading onboard systems, and ensuring her sailing gear and interiors are ready for new adventures. Nylunds Boathouse approached the project with their signature blend of tradition and innovation, preserving the yacht’s heritage while enhancing her functionality.

Inside, Lady Christina features the sought-after "Family Cruiser" layout, offering a spacious aft owner’s stateroom with an offset double berth, a VIP double cabin forward, and a guest bunk cabin amidships. Two large heads compartments, complete with separate showers, add a touch of luxury, with the aft head doubling as a convenient day-use space accessible from the saloon. On deck, her teak surfaces gleam, complementing a robust Perkins engine and modern North Sails rigging that promise smooth sailing.

The YouTube playlist documenting the refit offers a window into Nylunds’ meticulous process, showcasing their dedication to quality and attention to detail. From hull work to system checks, the series highlights the artistry that defines their work, making it a must-watch for sailing enthusiasts and restoration fans alike.

Lady Christina now stands as a testament to Nylunds Boathouse’s commitment to excellence, ready to grace the seas with renewed vigor. Explore her transformation for yourself in the full refit journey below.
