Swan 50 Ss

Designed by the legendary Sparkman & Stephens and built by Finland's prestigious Nautor yard from 1971 to 1975, this elegant 50-footer represents the golden era of Swan yachts when racing performance and cruising comfort were seamlessly blended. The Swan 50 SS earned its reputation as one of the most successful ocean racing yachts of the 1970s, with numerous victories in major offshore events including the Admiral's Cup and Sydney-Hobart races. At 50.17 feet overall with a waterline length of 37.28 feet, the design features classic proportions with a moderate beam of 13.60 feet and substantial 7.74-foot draft. The fin keel with rudder on skeg configuration provides excellent directional stability while maintaining good performance characteristics. With 36,000 pounds of displacement and 14,100 pounds of ballast, she offers the structural integrity and stability demanded for serious offshore sailing. The masthead sloop rig carries 1,032 square feet of sail area, delivering spirited performance with a theoretical hull speed of 8.18 knots. Her comfort ratio of 41.83 indicates a relatively stiff, seakindly motion ideal for extended offshore passages. Today, these well-built classics remain highly sought after by sailors seeking a proven bluewater cruiser with racing pedigree and timeless Swan elegance.
