About the Swan 36 2 Sailboat

Designed by the renowned team of German Frers and Andrew Winch, this elegant Finnish-built yacht represents Nautor's commitment to blending performance with luxury during the late 1980s and early 1990s. With only 55 hulls produced between 1988 and 1996, the Swan 36 2 maintains the exclusivity that defines the Swan brand while offering serious sailing capability. The masthead sloop configuration and fin keel with spade rudder design deliver responsive handling and impressive upwind performance. At 36.61 feet overall with a displacement of 14,770 pounds, she strikes an excellent balance between stability and speed, evidenced by her sail area-to-displacement ratio of 16.65. The substantial 5,600-pound ballast provides confidence-inspiring stability for offshore passages. Built with Nautor's meticulous fiberglass construction standards, this yacht excels at both coastal cruising and extended offshore sailing. Her comfort ratio of 26.32 suggests a motion that favors performance over ultimate comfort, making her ideal for sailors who prioritize sailing ability. The low capsize screening value of 1.96 indicates excellent stability characteristics for ocean sailing. Whether racing or cruising, the Swan 36 2 embodies the Finnish yard's philosophy of creating boats that are both beautiful and uncompromisingly seaworthy.
