Swan 86

The Swan 86 is a Finnish maxi yacht sailboat that was designed by Germán Frers as a blue water cruiser-racer and first built in 1988.

Production
The design was built by Oy Nautor AB in Finland, from 1988 to 1990 with three boats built, but it is now out of production.

Design
The Swan 86 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of glassfibre, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig, a raked stem, a sharply reverse transom, an internally mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a wheel and a fixed wing keel. It displaces 110000 lb and carries 44000 lb of lead ballast.

The boat has a draft of 12.00 ft with the standard wing keel. It is fitted with a Swedish Volvo Penta diesel engine of 282 hp for docking and manoeuvring.

The design has sleeping accommodation for six people, with a single berth in the bow cabin, a single in the forward cabin, a double in the port midship cabin, an L-shaped settee and a U-shaped settee in the main cabin and an aft cabin with a double berth on the port side. The galley is located on the port side just aft of the companionway ladder. A navigation station is opposite the galley, on the starboard side.

The design has a hull speed of 11.01 kn and a PHRF handicap of -39.
