Launched in 2024 as the newest addition to Nautor Swan's performance-oriented Clubswan fleet, this 28-footer represents a compelling blend of racing pedigree and accessible sailing. Designed by renowned naval architect Juan Kouyoumdjian, the boat continues Swan's tradition of creating vessels that excel in both competitive and recreational sailing environments. The Clubswan 28's modern fin keel with bulb and spade rudder configuration, combined with its fractional sloop rig, delivers exceptional upwind performance and responsive handling. At 2,204 pounds with a sail-area-to-displacement ratio of 49.94, this boat clearly prioritizes performance over comfort, making it ideal for spirited coastal sailing, club racing, and one-design competition. The relatively low comfort ratio of 6.87 confirms its sporting intentions rather than cruising aspirations. Construction employs advanced GRP with infused E-glass epoxy and Corecell foam core, ensuring both strength and weight optimization. The generous sail area of 527 square feet provides ample power in light to moderate conditions, while the boat's dimensions create an easily handled package suitable for short-handed sailing. This newest Clubswan targets sailors seeking genuine racing performance in a manageable, day-sailing format that maintains the quality and prestige associated with the Swan brand.
