But WindSwept isn’t just about luxury; she sails beautifully. The Farr-designed hull and keel deliver exceptional performance under sail.

With a deep cockpit and wide decks, WindSwept is both safe and exhilarating to sail.

She has systems designed for simplicity and reliability, critical when island-hopping.

On deck, the large cockpit with a centerline table is shaded by a full bimini and dodger, providing a welcoming space for sunset cocktails, lobster dinners, or quiet mornings with a coffee and a view. The sugar scoop transom with swimming ladder makes dinghy access and swimming effortless.
