Finally new boat handover tomorrow!

[SammyB]

Having arrived on time on 25th April to Port Leucate we finally take delivery of our new Swift Trawler 44 tomorrow morning!
It has been a long time being boatless after taking the plunge and ordering Malabar at the Cannes Boat Show. We traded in our Antares 9.8 which was sold on almost immediately. Needless to say we are very excited.
We must say a big thank you to those on the forum who have helped in the setting up process, some we have already met others we will hook up with soon!

Here are a few photos of her arrival. (I hope this works, as I'm not sure what I'm doing!)

Congratulations! A new boat is always very exciting.

Love it, grey hull looks fantastic as do the decals...

Enjoy the handover, I hope the dealer is looking after you and look forward to hearing a report soon!

Like it. Thats what we would have been buying had we not come across Ancaster

Lovely colour; doesn't show the dirt like dark blue, but is much much nicer than white.

many congrats, beautiful looking boat

Congratulations! Very nice machine. There has been one on Quai 1 in Antibes, also grey hulled, for the last few months. It looks much more of a big ship than the "44" name suggests - I bet you're feeling she is enormous!

Where are you keeping her? If delivery was to Leucate I'm guessing south of France somewhere, or Balearics?

What tender are you having?

Feel free to post more pics please. Interior, tender, etc

Thank you all for your messages.

She has a berth at Port Leucate but we plan to take off for Corsica and Italy at the end of June.

We love the grey colour but didn't like the 10 year anniversary stripes so they have been removed!

Name was ordered from Yachtlite (haven't seen it yet) and Linens from Heirlooms. I will take pictures of it all tomorrow.

Everything loaded and ready to go.Really looking forward to getting back on the water!

Excellent bits of extravagant shopping there! We must be distantly related. Good going!

Have to agree here, Congrats on your new boat and on a good choice of an all rounder.

Looks absolutely right in grey!

And another thumbs up for the grey hull!! Looks really classy but still nicely understated.

Only one criticism - where are all the rest of the pictures?? Let's see more of her please!

 

[libellule]

Lovely boat, you should be very proud. Am only an hour away if you need crew for seatrails etc

 

[longjohnsilver]

I agree with everyone else, I do like the grey. Lots more pice please! Exciting times for you, I'm sure you'll have many fab times on board.

Well I wouldn't have dreamt of saying it if you had said it first, but I also don't like the motorhome style decals. Trawler yachts should look functional, and go faster stripes have no place on them IMO. I do really like the grey hull though. Congrats, and I wish you many happy hours on her
