Nautor\\\'s_swan

Oy Nautor AB is a Finnish producer of high class sailing yachts, based in Jakobstad. It is known for its Swan line of fiberglass yacht. The company was founded in 1966 by Pekka Koskenkylä.

Koskenkylä\'s intention was to build the first 10m yacht capable of both cruising and racing, using a fiberglass mould. At the heart of his concept was quality, the core focus of Nautor\'s production process throughout its history. Series production was considered key to the success of the venture and precise, logistical organisation was paramount at an early stage.
