Swan Heritage Reunion

On the island of Capraia, the 19 . 20 . 21 June 2026 (plus transfer-regatta to Argentario on the 22nd) there will be the Swan Heritage Reunion 2026.

https://swanclassicbyfrers.org/archivio-eventi/2026-classic-swan-reunion-in-capraia/

We have already quite many participants. Hurry up to join the event, because we are close to full capacity.

We will meet on June 20 in Capraia, where we will celebrate our passion with a drink kindly offered by Nautor. On that same occasion, we will decide together the sailing program for the following day. Depending on the weather, this could be a sail around the beautiful island of Capraia or, if the wind allows, a passage to Corsica and back. Alternatively, should the wind fail us, we will simply sail together to one of Capraia’s charming bays and enjoy a swim.
In the evening, a special dinner will be held in front of the boats, organized by Monika, owner of the renowned restaurant Pescianel, who together with her team will prepare an unforgettable dinner with local seafood.
If you are planning to join us, please do not hesitate to get in touch (info@swanclassicbyfrers.org). This promises to be a truly memorable gathering for all those who love the most beautiful Swans ever built.
