SWAN 55 - 3

Clockwise front top left: Swan 55 S&S Yawl, Swan 53 second generation, Swan 56, Swan 57 Ketch 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.

SWAN 55 - 5

Germán Frers “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...

The deck is the most important area on a proper sailing yacht . The deck is where you control your yacht, enjoying the fun of sailing in pleasant weather and also conquering thrilling heavy storms while remaining safe and sheltered. At the same time, the deck is the area where you enjoy life at sea with family and friends: being at anchor in beautiful bays, swimming, sunbathing, dining alfresco and deploying the tender for exploring remote, untouched places. … all in all, the deck is where you mostly experience the true pleasures of sailing and cruising. The deck, and particularly the...

When a yacht is designed for proper bluewater cruising, interior arrangements play a fundamental role. They have to combine features that are often at odds with one another: space and liveability that won’t make you regret leaving your house and, at the same time, all the elements that allow you to move around belowdecks in safety when sailing in heavy weather. There must be ample natural light but also all the necessary storage space and functional areas. Taken together, the interiors must offer the best compromise possible given the purpose of the yacht, a definite challenge in this case....

Swan 55-S&S-1970 Yawl

Swan 55-S&S-1970 Yawl is a 55 ′ 2 ″ / 16.8 m monohull sailboat designed by Sparkman & Stephens and built by Nautor (Swan sailboats) between 1970 and 1974.

Drawing of Swan 55-S&S-1970 Yawl

Rig and Sails

Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.

Classic hull speed formula:

Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL

Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.

SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3

  • SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
  • D : Displacement in pounds.

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.

Ballast / Displacement * 100

Displacement / Length Ratio

A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
  • LWL: Waterline length in feet

Comfort Ratio

This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )

  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
  • LOA: Length overall in feet
  • Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet

Capsize Screening Formula

This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

7 (of 16) built of this version which is called the SWAN 55. The sloop with a reverse transom is called the SWAN 53 or PALMER JOHNSON 53. See SWAN 55-S&S-1970 for more details.

The new Swan 55 (17.75 x 5.00 m), which we will see for the first time at Cannes (Sept. 6-11) and which replaces the Swan 54, comes to market with the ambitious goal of condensing all of Nautor’s experience in this market segment.

A “multipurpose” bluewater boat that can provide maximum comfort when cruising and performance when you want to go harder. All wrapped up in an elegant object (guaranteed by German Frers’ design) with the absolute build quality that has always characterized Swans.

The Swan 55 is at its best when sailing slightly heeled , as you will read and has a deck full of interesting solutions. The interiors, designed by Genovese architect Misa Poggi, are designed to maximize comfort, especially for those living on board for long periods.

Swan 55 – Comfort and Performance

Experience, we said. In the 55-foot segment, the Finnish (Italian-run) shipyard has plenty to spare. The new Swan 55 represents more than 50 years of evolution from the first Swan 55 designed by Sparkman and Stephens in 1970. A legendary model that paved the way for the Swan 57 launched in 1977. Then to the Swan 53 designed by Germán Frers, then followed by the Swan 56 in 1997 and the Swan 53 in 2005.

Swan 55 Sparkman & Stephens

Swan 55 – Project

Who can speak better about the design of the new Swan 55 than its designer? Here’s what German Frers says : “The Swan 55 represents a new generation of hull design, developed over the past two years with the help of the tools available today to study hull behavior in all sailing conditions .

Swan 55

These are hulls with a “powerful” aft part that achieve maximum sailing length and low drag during heeling, with the lowest possible displacement-to-length ratio. In addition, they provide excellent balance in the various ranges of skidding angles, in combination with the proven double blade system of the rudder.”

Frers continues, “ In designing the bow sections, which are well rounded transversely and have an acute angle of entry, we favored ease of steering when heeling . The displacement of the hull (22,450 kg the light one) is the result of a thorough study of the weight and position of on-board equipment .

Boats like the Swan 55 must carry a fair amount of equipment for the comfort of the people who live and enjoy life aboard .

swan 55 navigation 2

However, Frers guarantees, “ the speed will be very good . A pleasant boat to sail, both easy to handle and sail in the standard version and to “run” in the performance trim version, which features a square top mainsail and bowsprit (in place of the integrated dolphin guard that doubles as an anchor nose) for Code Zero and asymmetrical type sails .”

Swan 55 – Keel

Under the hull, they are as many as four keel options from which you can choose: there is the standard version, with a draft of 2.50 m (in which one-third of the boat’s weight is concentrated, ballast-wise: 7,530 kg), and the short “shoal” version, which draws 2.10 m. In the “performance” version, there is the option of having it 3.40 m (this provides excellent upwind performance) and, finally, there is the telescopic version that allows the draft to be varied from 2.85 to 2 m (perfect in shallow water and for sailing at the breakwaters).

Swan 55 – Exterior

Swans have always been designed with great consideration for the deck and its organization, and the Swan 55 is no exception, with well-separated areas for managing the boat while sailing and living comfortably in all possible situations, whether sunbathing, dining or swimming.

swan 55 sailboat data

The new Swan 55 brings some innovations that further improve livability in the cockpit and transom areas, such as “transformer” tables or the extralong bathing platform , an exclusive innovation for a yacht of this size, which increases the livability of the aft area, creating a true beach area derived from the world of superyachts.

swan 55 cockpit

On the Swan 55, “relaxed” sailing is facilitated by five equally specific winches, all electric as standard, positioned so that one crew member can manage the boat alone . The sides of the deckhouse that continue into the guardrails that protect the benches results in a very large cockpit area, where twin “transformer” tables offer a variety of configurations, from dining to sunbathing to the “pouf” position.

swan 55 deck

In front of the mast, a large sunbathing area integrated into the forward part of the deckhouse provides the right shape for the self-tacking trolley, designed for foresail but also suitable for jib. Further forward, a deep locker is dedicated to sail storage.

Swan 55 – Interior

The interior of the Swan 55, whose brightness is ensured by numerous windows, is designed to ensure maximum comfort for long periods , both when sailing and when at anchor.

Swan 55 square

In terms of cabin layout, the standard version has two double double cabins (the master in the bow and the second one between the master and the saloon, on the port side) and a cabin with “twin” beds (ideal for guests and children) located aft, on the starboard side: all have a dedicated bathroom and shower stall. There is also the option of having the master stateroom in the stern and the “twin” stateroom in the bow with V-beds.

Swan 55

In the saloon, to the left, is the spacious galley, which follows the latest layouts of the Swan 48 and Swan 58 and offers domestic-type amenities, including high-end appliances, and generous storage space. The organization of space allows for an additional service cabin dedicated to stowage, or to be converted into a crew cabin.

swan 55 square 2

The saloon has a C-shaped sofa with a center table to port, while the starboard area, including the chart table, can be configured in three different layouts. The cabin layout offers numerous configuration options to meet the needs of different owners and allow for appropriate customization of the boat.

Swan 55 – Interior design

Here is what Misa Poggi, interior designer of the Swan 55, says: “ Interior design matches the materials . Those chosen for the Swan 55 were selected to be in line with life on board and reflect a perfect home lifestyle–practical, pleasant, comfortable and durable. Four essential elements that must coexist at sea.

swan 55

The various “moods” of finishes and colors, which allow for customization of the interior, “have been designed to meet the tastes of different types of customers, from the most classic to the “extravagant,” but always maintaining the elegant style and standard of a Swan . For the interior bulkhead trim, the wainscot style is proposed, among other options, as a tribute to the historic seafaring tradition…while of course respecting Swan safety and practicality .”

In terms of style and finish, the new Swan 55 features four different moods: Swan Soul embodying the typical Swan environment, Scandi Vision For a lighter, more Nordic atmosphere, Blue Genoa which pays homage to the colors of the ocean and seafaring tradition, and the special Velvet Vibe , warm and colorful like a Mediterranean sunset.

New yachts: Swan 58 and Swan 55

Yachting World

  • July 29, 2021

Rupert Holmes reports on the recent announcement of the Swan 55 and the sea trials of the Swan 58, which was announced in 2020

swan 55 sailboat data

Nautor’s is expanding at an enviable rate – turnover doubled between 2017 and 2019 and the company shows no sign of wanting to rein in its ambition, with around a dozen new models from 48ft-125ft announced in the past three years with the Swan 58 and Swan 55 the latest models.

The cancellation of last winter’s boat show season meant we were not able to see the Swan 58 at Boot Düsseldorf , but the first boat is now on the water and photos taken during sea trials show it to be another stunning model.

Images of the boat sailing upwind indicate it moving quickly, even relative to the long waterline, while maintaining a balanced helm.

The cockpit looks beautifully uncluttered, with a clear passage from the transom and helm stations to the companionway.

On the other hand some will be disappointed by the positioning of winches and clutches outboard of the cockpit benches, rather than inboard on pedestals ahead of the wheels.

Around the same time as the 58 hit the water, Nautor’s announced a new Swan 55. This will fit into an increasingly comprehensive range of Swan Line models, between the 48 and the 58.

swan 55 sailboat data

The very secretive first shots of the Swan 55 released by Nautor’s

Like the new Swan 65 that was launched in 2019, the 55 is intended to be evocative of the original Sparkman & Stephens-designed Swan 55.

Although overshadowed by the success of the original 65, this was a superbly comfortable and capable boat in its day and the flagship of Nautor’s range when launched in 1970.

The company has yet to release full details of the new Swan 55, although we know it’s another twin rudder German Frers design, along similar beamy lines to the existing new generation boats.

However, it will also benefit from work Frers has done over the past couple of years in analysing optimal hull shapes using latest software tools.

He says the hull will have “a powerful back end that attains maximum sailing length and low resistance when heeled.” Bow sections are “well rounded transversely and have a sharp entry angle… favouring the sailing condition and comfortable ride when heeled.”

Two versions of the Swan 55 will be offered – a standard cruising model and a performance variant with a square-top mainsail. This will clearly be an attractive option for those planning to race the boat, whether in one of Nautor’s own events, or in iconic regattas and offshore races around the world.

The company understands, arguably better than any other yard, the importance in today’s market of delivering a compelling and unique experience to owners, rather than simply selling a physical product and its Nautor’s portfolio of events continues to strike a chord with owners both of new and older boats.

Update: The Swan 58 is due to make its public debut at the 2021 Cannes Yachting Festival .
