Designed by the legendary Sparkman & Stephens and built by Finland's prestigious Nautor yard, this classic represents the early evolution of the Swan lineage that would become synonymous with elegant performance cruising. Built from 1967 to 1970 with only 80 hulls produced, the Swan 36 established many design principles that would define the marque for decades to come. The hull showcases Sparkman & Stephens' mastery of balanced proportions, with a moderate fin keel and skeg-mounted rudder configuration that delivers both directional stability and responsive handling. The generous ballast-to-displacement ratio of 55% provides substantial stability and seaworthiness, while the masthead sloop rig offers straightforward sail handling and excellent upwind performance. With a comfort ratio of 37.23, this Swan strikes an appealing balance between performance and liveability, making it well-suited for coastal cruising and offshore passages alike. The low capsize screening value of 1.6 reflects inherent stability that inspires confidence in challenging conditions. Her moderate displacement and clean underwater profile deliver respectable speed potential while maintaining the forgiving characteristics that make her accessible to sailors of varying experience levels. This early Swan represents classic yacht design at its finest, combining seaworthiness with the elegance that became the hallmark of Finnish craftsmanship.
