SWAN 48-153 MUNTRACHET

Swan 48-153 “Muntrachet” is a 2003 Frers design combining proven blue-water ability with thoughtful upgrades for effortless Mediterranean cruising and club racing. A Volvo Penta D2-55 (installed 2016) on sail-drive with a 3-blade folding prop keeps propulsion simple and efficient, while Lewmar electric primaries and an electric halyard winch reduce loads on deck. The rig is classic Swan: anodised aluminium spar with Navtec rod standing rigging, hydraulic vang and backstay, removable inner forestay and running backstays—set up for both passagemaking and performance.

Below, the practical two-cabin / two-head layout stands out. The aft owner’s suite has a centreline queen and en-suite; the custom forward cabin offers a low double to port plus an upper single to starboard, also en-suite—ideal for family or occasional crew. Systems include Mastervolt inverter, gel service bank (2018), LED lighting, air-conditioning to the owner’s cabin, and recent deck gear such as a Lewmar 1,500 W windlass (2017) with Spade 25 kg anchor (2022). Electronics were refreshed with Raymarine plotter and Quantum radar (2017) plus AIS, SSB and Inmarsat-C for offshore communications.

A broad sail wardrobe covers cruising and club-race modes—Doyle Stratis main & genoa (2013), storm jib and trysail, asymmetric/gennakers and dedicated headsails—supported by a bowsprit and spinnaker pole. Teak deck care and numerous cosmetic updates keep the boat fresh; flexible solar panels (2022) assist energy management at anchor. VAT paid, lying Sitges, Spain, and realistically priced, Muntrachet is a compelling Swan 48 for sale for owners seeking pedigree, reliability and a versatile interior.
