German Frers is famous for designing beautiful, fast, racing and cruising yachts e.g. Swan yachts. The First 51S offers long distance yachtsmen a superb yacht; her powerful yet elegant lines from the drawing board of German Frers reflect his personal conception of what sailing�s about. At sea or at anchor she focuses on maximum comfort and fulfils the promise of fast ocean passage making and carefree sailing. �Vida�- (Spanish for �Life�) is one of a few very limited production fast cruiser/racing yachts from German Frers, and is the only one of her type currently in Australia. �Vida� underwent a full rebuild in 2004, with further upgrading carried out in 2007.
