Designed by renowned naval architect German Frers and built by Finland's prestigious Nautor shipyard, this exceptional sailing yacht represents the pinnacle of performance cruising design. With only ten hulls launched since 2006, the Swan 60 Fd stands as an exclusive member of the celebrated Swan fleet, combining racing pedigree with luxurious cruising capabilities. The fractional sloop rig and fin keel with bulb configuration deliver outstanding sailing performance, while the moderate comfort ratio of 26.35 ensures reasonable motion at sea during extended passages. Her impressive sail area to displacement ratio of 28.02 provides excellent light air performance, making her equally suited for spirited coastal sailing and serious offshore cruising. The low capsize screening value of 1.94 reflects her seaworthy design characteristics. This yacht excels in both competitive racing environments and long-distance cruising scenarios. The German Frers design philosophy emphasizes clean lines and efficient hull forms, resulting in a boat capable of sustained speeds approaching her theoretical hull speed of nearly 10 knots. Her fiberglass construction ensures durability, while the spade rudder configuration provides responsive handling characteristics that Swan owners have come to expect from this legendary Finnish builder.
