    Many summers ago I had the privilege to sail on an 80 foot Swan and this boat here is almost as roomy inside. My favorite yacht interior of all time is "Ghost" by Luca Brenta, interior by Lissoni. A current yacht which is drop dead gorgeous inside is the Solaris 111 CeFeA. Check out the stunning master bedroom but the Solaris is a $22 million dollar yacht, however. This Swan 58 could be bought at a fraction of the price and the interior options are stellar. I would forgo the cheesy looking "gloss" wood finish and choose instead the matte, natural oiled finish. At 6:09 you can see the different interior options and finishes. I especially like the Scandinavian white oak option. It's nice to see boats these days getting away from "marine style" interiors and instead focus on simply beautiful interiors. The Swan 58 is marvelous.

    Swan makes beautiful sailboats, for sure. This one is a little too big for me, and for blue water sailing, manual winches would be preferred; fewer things to break. But summertime cruising Long Island Sound, Narragansett Bay, the Maine coast, or cruising down the coast from San Francisco to Baja, this would be the boat to have.

      @WickBeavers 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I sailed around the world on my Swan 51, Longhorn (the stick on “N” kept falling off our MOB horseshoe rings so we were renamed Loghor). Got talked into her cuz I didn’t like the wavy little finger vibe), but man, there was very little wrong with her. I still have no clue why people have those CQR’s when same size Bruce is far superior. We did 3000 miles in 15 days like clockwork. And won the first Swan Asia cup (second or third overall), came in 13 in the Sidney Hobart, and never had a problem anywhere sailing. Interestingly, the only place we were attempted to be boarded by thieves was RishCutter’s Bay in Sidney. 7 years, never a leak, a failure or an anchor (Bruce) drag. Couple of things that ought to be mandatory and built in- water maker, bigger fuel tanks and on my boat, better stowage for the 2 poles and jockey pole. I’d never want the owners cabin forward, but I see they put the life raft where I’d want my double bunk… put the life raft on the deck. Who is gonna give up their bed underway!?!? If $$ were no object and we were going again? This might be it (resale is amazing!) or I’d be looking at a 60ft round the world single hander and try hard to keep things to a minimum in the comfort department. But money no object? Swan any day.

The aft cabins for example are exactly the same. From the engine bay access to the double door toilet. I believe the hull is identical, meaning Nautor buys Hanse's hulls.

    @richardjohnson4696 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I grew up around sailboats and sailing. It is not something that most people really enjoy, or would be into, it is slow, overall being cold and miserable when the weather is bad, where in the PNW, that is pretty much all the time. My father was the sailor and my mother hated being on our boat. We went out one day on a Swan 42 and it was a beautiful boat, it took part in the Pacific Race that started in 1980. Once you have sailing in your blood, it is something that stays with you for the rest of your life. You had better find a partner who is into it before buying a sailboat. I know my wife wouldn't be into it at all, so, I don't even go there with her.

    Would you like the sailboat design to sail upright and faster with better rudder control in heavy weather??MC/BS basics of sailing.

    • @markcampbell7577
      @markcampbell7577 ปีที่แล้ว

      The heeling over is due to the keeling design blocking the boom. If you keel the mast at the mast and headsails at the midpoint between the mast and forestay of the largest sail she would sail more upright and faster with better rudder control in high wind. Another way to do that is a French keel curves up ahead of the bowsprit. Much deeper at the stem. Another way to get a proper academic keeling line is to drop the bow down straight down much deeper than the stern or mast. You want to have enough displacement under the bow to keep the bow up out of the water in heavy weather. You don't boom keel a sailboat design. It causes the boat to heel over and falloff.

    That is an ugly looking boat that you'd be hard pressed to know it was a swan. They've lost their way and build boxy unstylish and probably not the most seaworthy boats to be caught out on in bad weather.
    Bring back the traditional German frers and Sparkman and Stephens designs . They were really stylish, distinctive and seaworthy designs.

      The current trend is for these clean, everything flush, teak foredecks of old style. It can look really good but like you say, here it seems to loose a lot of the boat’s character. I’m sure the hull is as good as every other Swan, aesthetics don’t affect performance IMO. Cheers 🍻

      They may be as well built using modern techniques but their hull shapes and layouts aren’t designed with offshore comfort in mind. Could you imagine trying to cook a meal in a force 7-8 hard on the wind in one of those? Slamming away to windward with your meal bouncing our of its pot making a lovely mess all over the floor? Or how secure should you feel in one of those bunks after a long arduous watch?

    Nice. But most of these larger high quality yachts are, for some reason, made to accommodate lots of people. Yet they are meant to be handled by a couple. How about an interior made especially comfortable and functional for a couple? In stead of seating for 8 or 10 people, how about a really comfortable living space for two? Look at what interior designers can do with tiny New York/London apartments with shape-shifting walls and furniture. Some of that engineering spirit could be used on yachts.

      The "lots of people" is for the marina life. People with more money and severe sailing in mind don't buy standard designs but talk to the designer and builder to get what they want.

    Once again Toby is waxing lyrical and gushing about how nice everything is, never once does he mention any of the negatives of any boat that he reviews. I guess he needs to keep the advertisers happy otherwise the money dries up as would the boat reviews, after all no one wants to hear bad things about their boat, that just won't do.

Amel esta infinitamente mejor concebido en un mar bravo como el Atlántico que este velero finlandés . Swan solo vale en una mar tranquilo como el Mediterráneo y encima algo más caro que el Amel 60

      @@Fuhugawagah Very true. But people are happily cruising Pogos and Baltics and the like offshore. They are offshore cruising boats for a great many people. To be fair I am like you. Moving forward in the cabin with a good heel requires better handholds for safety, and I prefer a deeper cockpit with a more sheltered helm. But I understand others have different takes and cruise happily nonetheless.

    A really nice boat but not for me. Imagine rough mixed swells with a strong current and 40 knots of wind, autopilot shorted out, it's night time and you're white knuckling it a mere inches from the aft edge of the boat with no wind or wet protection. Nor is there sun protection for those 20+ days riding the trade winds. Definitely for the "bluewater" cruiser that jet sets to exotic locations and hires people to sail to them.
