Swanson Carmen

"Cardinal Puff" is a beautifully presented 1967 Swanson Carmen Class, originally built for renowned yachtsman Peter Kurtz. One of Australia's iconic timber ocean racers, she represents a rare opportunity to own a genuine piece of Australian sailing history. The Carmen Class became famous for its outstanding offshore performance, with sisterships enjoying great success in the Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race and helping establish the Swanson name as one of Australia's most respected yacht builders.

Comprehensively restored inside and out in 2012, Cardinal Puff has been carefully maintained by her current owner and is presented ready for her next custodian. The owner is now moving to a larger yacht.
