Stella, a Swan 82FD was designed by German Frers and is recognised around the world as one of the greatest performance cruising yachts ever conceived. She is an iconic yacht that offers exhilarating sailing whilst not compromising on comfort and luxury.

Stella, formerly Grey Goose, has been rigorously maintained by both her previous and now her current owner to keep pace with the latests advances in technology. In the winter of 2023/2024, Stella underwent a comprehensive refit in the Swan Service Centre in Badalona with upgrades that included: a new teak deck, repainting of the hull in navy
blue, full rig service, all new sails and all electronics replaced and upgraded. Stella now has a modern, contemporary feel, comparable to the very latest generation of Swan yachts.

Compared to her sister ships, Stella out performs them. A replacement rudder and keel brought down the centre of gravity, improved acceleration and pointing ability, balancing her perfectly in the water. In 2016 a replacement Hall Spars high modulus carbon fibre mast added strength and reduced the weight aloft, increasing the righting moment
and improving the overall performance.

Whilst many of the upgrades were made to improve the performance, most of them also serve to enhance the cruising experience by reducing pitching, better acceleration and easier handling.
