If you’ve always wanted a big Swan and are on a budget, but have some skills and ambition, here’s a fantastic opportunity to own one the nicest classic Swan designs ever built which also features the rare 6’ 4” shoal draft keel/centerboard underbody and a brand new mast, new rod rigging and new sails! All the elements are here to finish getting her ready for the sea including a brand new, still in the box, 9.8 hp outboard and brand new AB 10’ dinghy which is still at the chandlery waiting for pickup! She has a terrific sail inventory and is well outfitted for Caribbean cruising and represents a tremendous value for a handy boat owner who want to go fast and to go upwind with the best of them, but might want to still be able to cruise areas like the Bahamas, the Chesapeake Bay or Florida’s west coast. This boat lost its rig while stored on and during Hurricane Irma but did not fall over. She appears to be structurally very good and aside from some of the typical older Swan issues like rusting transverse floors and ageing teak on the cabin top, she shows really quite well. She’s dirty right now from having sat for a while, but there is tremendous potential here and a few weeks of effort could result in a very nice boat ready for cruising the islands or for a quick trip north to cooler areas. Call or write for additional photos and a recent on-land insurance survey.

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.
Classic hull speed formula:
Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL
A more accurate formula devised by Dave Gerr in The Propeller Handbook replaces the Speed/Length ratio constant of 1.34 with a calculation based on the Displacement/Length ratio.
Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio.311
Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL
A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.
SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64)2/3
A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.
Ballast / Displacement * 100
A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.
D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³
This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.
Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam1.33)
This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.
CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)
The first in a long series of Swans designed by German Frers.
