Iconic 1970s Lucky Bird (Swan) Overhauled

If adding a feather in one’s cap is taken seriously than this refurbishment is the best epitome of it. The Swan 48 which was renowned for its one of the most iconic and unique blue water sailing designs of all time is now been renovated. This Sparkman and Stephens’ designed Swan is often referred to as a classic example of the 1970s yacht and this renovation turned it into a weekend sailor suitable for a 21st-century family.

Lucky Bird’s renovation was not pre-decided, it just came off as a coincidence and only the renovation of the Swan’s interior was on cards and the carpenters were determined that they will not change the exterior designing. It happened as the Swan arrived at the Younique and while working on the interior renovation as more and more of swan’s traditional fittings were stripped out, the interior as well as the exterior beautified more and was renovated.
