There's nothing new here. Most navigation is best done with a bottle and couple of glasses. Put whiskey in one glass. Pop the otherglass onto the compass rose, shine a light from above, and the cut glass will radiate light out every 10 degrees. No need for bretons etc.

Re: interest in Swans
are we perhaps seeing the wind change direction here, or is this another form of ornathology?

Very astute. You can put this down as long term planning

That's a bloomin' big boat, tcm.
Are you cruising the broker's websites by any chance, thinking about . . er . . upgrading?
If this is a sample, I'm very impressed by your shortlist, and your purchasing power!

Upholstery looks like its been made from a fat Texan's jacket!
Maybe, being Swedish, they mistook the meaning of sextant, and put in the two beds instead.
And what's that non-matching wood in the galley?

Re: interest in Swans
You obviously hooked on 23m as the "proper" length for a yacht (power or sail).

Re: interest in Swans
ah. I think it's the limit for family sailing (no crew) for all sorts of reasons. Below this 60/70 foot size, engineering, galleys and so on become compromised by space constraints, and costs. Above this size there's little point for a small crew - there's simply more of the same thing eg 5 double cabins and so on, and loads more hoovering and cleaning. More prosaically, I'm limited by beam to 6m incl fenders.
This'll blimmin teach me won't it! I'm getting a right grilling....
