S/V Shannon is a CT49, designed by Kaufman & Ladd. She is sometimes referred to as a Tawanize Swan. We are sailing around Point Elena in about 40+ knots of wind. We are flying a storm jib, stay sail and double reefed main. Because these winds are “offshore”, the waves are relatively small, but, are close together and steep faced. We can find this wind 4-5 months of the year and teach you to sail in extreme conditions with warm weather. More info in the video and our web site; http://www.flamingobeachcr.com Check us out!

ugh…not 60 knots and Swan never made a center cockpit boat. geez

This yacht is not sailing in 60knots of wind thats just total bullshit. Probably your windinstrument malfucntioned and it was supposed to say 16knots of wind… I also happen to know that SWAN is a finnish brand and their yachts are amongst the priciest in the world. If it really is a SWAN on the pics its a disgrace to the shipbuilder and should be sunk.

This is not extreme sailing at all, its just a nice day with a good breeze, not a bad thing, but certainly not what i was excpecting when i clicked on an extreme sailing link!!

60 knts of breeze and your on the wind with both heads’l and what appears to be the whole main. The waves are about three foot high and no one seams to be bothered by spray, warm weather or not. Your exaggerateing massively my friend.

Your Dad is a crook and you are a little foul mouthed uneducated loser living in a 3rd world country going nowhere. I looked at your profile, and you can’t even spell at the 3rd grade level. Country day school my ***….
Do some fucking maint. on that piece of **** boat. The decks look like crap. You should be embarrassed to charter it. Calling it a Swan. Give me a break. You should have never re floated it after it sank. Please tell us how it sank.

That boat ended up on the bottom of Flamingo bay where it belonged. Bad maint. and a total peice of **** for a boat. Looked just great with the mast sticking out of the water.
