Swan 38 Tall Rig

Nautor Swan 38.

Designed by Sparkman & Stephens, this Swan 38 was built in 1974 by Nautor of Finland to exceptionally high standards giving a solid feel of comfort and safety. She is a tall rig version adding to her upwind and light airs performance. There are plenty of winches for sail handling, wheel steering, and Autohelm instruments.

She is a surprisingly comfortable boat. Adequately ballasted, with elliptical hull sections forward, she will surge in heavy seas instead of crashing – a feature much appreciated by the off-watch crew trying to get some sleep. A fold-away main saloon table allows the saloon to be used for entertaining or folding sails.

The engine is a 28hp Volvo Penta with 100lt of diesel. The electrical system has 2 house and 1 engine start battery and an inverter running a 240V system.
