Swan 60S
30Pages

The Swan 55 yawl, a 1970 Sparkman & Stephens design, was a true maxi at its time, whilst it would be considered a medium size Swan today. The other 60s in the Swan history, from top to bottom: the first Nautor project optimised for IMS rules, the fascinating Swan 601 class, one of the largest One Designs ever, and the latest 60 FD, the more performance oriented version of the 60 S. More than 20 years separate the first from the last. In its fifty years of activity Nautor’s Swan has made an impressive fourteen models – with all their possible variations - in and around the 18m range. Think...

Germán Frers Maintaining the same hull and similar high tech construction materials and methods of the high performance Swan 60 FD, a new deck, cockpit and interior have been created for this model. The main idea behind this new version is to offer the experienced yachtsman with years of racing on his shoulders and to the regular cruising family man, a real thoroughbred with whom recreate past experiences or establish new ones. She is a real wolf in sheep’s clothing. The Original high power rig and deep keel design combination as well as a more moderate sail plan and shallower tee keel are...

Compared to her FD sister the S version (S stands for Semiraised Saloon) was specifically conceived for all the requirements of long navigations without losing the exceptional abilities of this fine hull: a true Gran Turismo. The well tested three zone cockpit has been redesigned to suit the yacht’s bluewater vocation. The coachroof is clearly visible but flaunts a profile that reveals its pure Swan DNA and offers generous protection to the large cockpit. The sleek and elegant lines of the ample coamings extend all the way aft to protect the cockpit in its entirety: the guest area forward,...

The three winches that manage all the sheets are placed close to the helm stations. The cockpit seats are 256 cm long and e 67 cm wide, and can also be used for comfortable sunbathing. The raised aft deck creates a 311 x 130 cm sunbathing platform. Underneath, the large lazarette can also double up as a tender garage. The lines of the coachroof, in perfect Swan style, are undisturbed by the flush hatches.

The interior layout takes advantage of the generous volumes of the hull through various alternative solutions designed to satisfy different needs and any specific request. The layout is organised around the raised saloon, under which large tanks ensure ample range for cruising. In the standard version, the raised area is dedicated to entertainment, whilst further forward, in a lower, protected area are the C shaped galley and the large navigation station with space for a full array of electronics. Both are designed to provide maximum comfort at sea. The en suite Owners cabin is forward and,...

Over five meters long, the saloon is a striking feature of this yacht. Organised on two levels, it separates the living area from the galley and navigation areas. The “C” shaped galley offers an ideal layout for working under way, with plenty of storage room. The chart table is a true navigation station with space for a full array of electronics and seating for two. An optional layout includes a fourth guest cabin with double bunk beds and a crew cabin with room for a generator and other equipment. Offered in two different versions, the owner’s cabin can satisfy different tastes and preferenc

Under sail The sailing experience offered by the Swan 60 S is unique in its kind: thoroughbred performance in a long distance bluewater design. The Frers hull has sleek elegant lines, with little wetted surface and a marked tendency to lift above its standing wave and provide the excitement and speed of surfing with daily averages during crossings that would satisfy ocean racers. Confirmation of the yacht’s performance pedigree can be found in its appendages, designed without compromise, that allow for perfect handling and a high righting moment. These features combine to create a yacht...

Details The quality that has made Swans so famous during the years can be seen in the obsessive attention to detail that can be found throughout the yacht. Technologies have evolved but the spirit with which a Swan is designed and built remains the same: seaworthiness, reliability and style are and always have been our main drivers. That is why on our yachts we use only the best materials and the technologies that have proved their worth and durability in prolonged and severe conditions.
