Seller's Description

59’ Nautor Swan 59 CB 1984

Recent Survey Report Available

This yacht was designed by German Frers and built by Nautor (Swan). Swan sailboats continue to set the standard for luxury boat building and design to this day.

This boat has been through two major refits in the last 8 years and it shows. Previous owner replaced the teak decks and re-powered with a new Volvo engine in 2014 during a full restoration with KKMI, one of the premiere boat yards in San Francisco. And the current owner has gone to great lengths to make the boat blue water capable.

The boat features 4G wireless connectivity and a satellite phone to keep you connected remotely to work and social media while out on the water. And the newly installed B&G H5000 electronic navigation package ($80k ) is top of the line with massive color touchscreen displays.

Above the deck- Mast was pulled, painted, rewired, with spreader and under boom lights installed. All the standing rigging was inspected and serviced and all the lines and running rigging are new. New baby stay and staysail were fitted, awnings and biminis were custom sewn, and a new full battened main and leisure furling boom were installed. And a new 12ft Caribe dinghy was also custom fitted to the deck.

Below deck- Literally every system on the boat was replaced or refurbished and the whole boat was re-wired and re-plumbed. Hydraulic boom vang, backstay, and lifting keel systems were all rebuilt. New generator was installed, fridges and freezers were recharged and serviced, and bow thruster was rebuilt. Owner specced a new state of the art electroscan waste sanitation system which was installed at both fore and aft heads. She has a well appointed galley and lots of room and privacy even for a large crew.

This boat is literally ready to sail around the world. She goes upwind at 9 knots and slices right through a large seaway. Come for a test sail with us and chase your dreams.

Calculations

Hull Speed
10.3 kn
Classic: 9.3 kn

Hull Speed

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.

Formula

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

10.3 knots
Classic formula: 9.3 knots
Sail Area/Displacement
?

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

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.

Formula

SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64)2/3

  • SA: Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
  • D: Displacement in pounds.
?
<16: under powered
16-20: good performance
>20: high performance
Ballast/Displacement
36.5
<40: less stiff, less powerful

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

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.

Formula

Ballast / Displacement * 100

36.54
<40: less stiff, less powerful
>40: stiffer, more powerful
Displacement/Length
249.4
200-275: moderate

Displacement / Length Ratio

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.

Formula

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
  • LWL: Waterline length in feet
249.35
<100: ultralight
100-200: light
200-300: moderate
300-400: heavy
>400: very heavy
Comfort Ratio
44.9
40-50: heavy bluewater boat

Comfort Ratio

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.

Formula

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam1.33)

  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
  • LWL: Waterline length in feet
  • LOA: Length overall in feet
  • Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet
44.93
<20: lightweight racing boat
20-30: coastal cruiser
30-40: moderate bluewater cruising boat
40-50: heavy bluewater boat
>50: extremely heavy bluewater boat
Capsize Screening
1.7
<2.0: better suited for ocean passages

Capsize Screening Formula

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.

Formula

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

  • Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet
  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
1.65
<2: better suited for ocean passages
>2: better suited for coastal cruising

Draft (BD): 9.75’ (BU): 4.0’
