What a week to remember! St. Tropez delivered everything light winds, golden sunsets, and the kind of energy that makes you fall in love with sailing all over again. The Nations Trophy 2025 event brought together some of the best teams out there, and we couldn’t be prouder (or more amazed!) to witness Germany sail away with the title, powered by powerful Earlybird and our little Ambra.
Beyond the racing, it was the perfect end to the season - meeting new friends, sharing dockside laughs, and soaking in that effortless French Riviera lifestyle. From early mornings on the water to late nights under the stars, this week had it all.
There’s something truly magical about this place — the golden light, the scent of the sea, and the sight of so many Swan yachts gathered together in the old harbor, their masts painting the skyline. Seeing the Swan family come together — owners, sailors, crews, and friends — reminded us why this community is so special. It’s more than racing; it’s a shared passion, a love for the sea, and the spirit of friendship that connects us all.
Every conversation on the dock, every smile exchanged, and every sail raised carried that unmistakable Swan energy — elegant, determined, and full of heart. The Nations Trophy and Swan events brought it all together in the most beautiful way imaginable.
International Press:
“The Nations Trophy came to a close on Sunday (12 October), marking the grand finale of the 2025 Nations League. The regatta took place over five days in Saint-Tropez, France, with over 50 Nautor Swan yachts taking part alongside sailors from more than 30 countries.
Organised by Nautor Swan's yacht racing division, ClubSwan Racing, the Nations League comprises eight regattas throughout the year held across the Mediterranean. Germany won the pinnacle Nations Trophy 2025, notably due to the combined strength of the 16.7-metre Earlybird, owned by Hendrik Brandis, in the ClubSwan 50 class and the 14.8-metre Ambra in the Swan Rating division: the first country to unite both One Design and Rating fleets in a single win. “
Leaving Saint-Tropez, we’re filled with gratitude - for the people, the boats, and the moments that make this community feel like home. Until next time, Swan family - what a journey it’s been.
