Our beautiful Esther is one of a kind, a precious jewel in every extend of the word. She is a classic beauty with all the modern equipment , comfort and up to date for being a 1968 yacht.
Esther is the 11th boat built by Nautors Swan when the company started in the late 1960s. Swan is one of the best built boat brand of all time. Nautor Swan paired with the designers Sparkman and Stephens for this sleek 36 footer which became one of the best sailboats ever built and designed. It’s a fast, strong,sturdy, reliable,prestige classic yacht like no other.
Her bottom paint was done in 2018 with first interprotect 2000 epoxy barrier coat, second interlux hard bottom paint and last a copper marine ablative anti fouling bottom paint.
We also painted the bilge with interprotect. The bilge is over 5ft deep , a wonderful design. At the same time, we put a new cutlass bearing in and a new PSS dripless shaft.
For the Yanmar, we put in a new drive saver on the transmition, the engine has been completely gone through and replaced parts like motor mounts and parts that needed to be rebuilt like the injectors. The engine works great! A very reliable Yanmar 3GMD model, it has dry sleeves. It could last forever , really well built engine.

This boat is in excellent condition, she is a classic beauty! Esther is ready to go to the Bahamas or cross the Atlantic!
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)
