Nautor's Swan 55 en venta

From 1970 up to the present day: over 50 years of evolution since the Swan 55 was pencilled on the drawing board of our designers in Pietarsaari. Starting with the first legendary Swan 55 designed by Sparkman & Stephens in 1970, then the Swan 57 launched in 1977 and ten years afterwards, the Swan 53 drawn from the pen of German Frers, as were her sisters the Swan 56 in 1997 and Swan 53 in 2005, today we are writing another page in the history of this awe-inspiring model.

“This new version of the Swan 55 model Line represents a new generation of hull design developed over the past couple of years with the assistance of tools available today to study the behavior of the canoe body in all sailing conditions.
There are hulls with a powerful back end that attain maximum sailing length and low resistance while heeled thus the lowest possible displacement / length ratio and they provide excellent balance through the range of heel angles in combination with the well proven twin rudder set up.
When designing the bow sections which are well rounded transversally and have a sharp entry angle, we have favored the sailing condition and comfortable ride when heeled. Because of the longitudinal high length to depth ratio sometimes it will be necessary to slow the speed while powering against a head chop.
The hull displacement is the result of a thorough study of weight and the position of the equipment onboard. These boats need to carry a fair amount of equipment for the comfort of the people living and enjoying life on board. However, the speed will be very good all around.
She will be a pleasant yacht to sail, easy to handle and cruise in its standard version and race in in its performance set up version, which includes a square top mainsail and a bowsprit for the light weather and downwind sails.”... » texto completo » menos texto
