Owner comments:
ALPHA CENTAURI is a legendary classic Swan 65´ Ketch designed by Sparkman & Stevens with hull Nº 007, and has been under my ownership for the past 38 years and progressively improved each year.
The machinery and sail systems are almost perfect and she is beautiful looking on deck and inside. I believe she is ready to set sail for another World Tour.
