TheSwan 58 is a Finnishsailboat that was designed byGermán Frers, with the interior design byMisa Poggi. It was intended as ablue watercruiser and first built in 2020.[1][2][3][4][5]
The design has been built byOy Nautor AB in Finland, since 2020. The first hull was removed from the mould in April 2020. As of 2023[update] it remains in production.[1][6][7]
The Swan 58 is a recreationalkeelboat, built predominantly ofvinylester vacuum-infusedglassfibre withcarbon fibre reinforcement and with wood trim, including ateak faced deck. It has afractionalsloop rig with abowsprit, with three sets of sweptspreaders and carbon fibre spars. The hull has aplumb stem, areverse transom with a drop-downtailgate swimming platform, dual internally mounted spade-typerudders controlled by dualwheels and a fixed finkeel with a weighted bulb, deep draft keel or shoal-draft keel. Abow thruster is mounted forward. It displaces 55,997 lb (25,400 kg) empty and carries 16,534 lb (7,500 kg) of ballast.[1][3][4][5][8][9]
The boat has a draft of 8.86 ft (2.70 m) with the standard fin keel, 12.47 ft (3.80 m) with the deep draft keel and 7.22 ft (2.20 m) with the optional shoal draft keel.[1]
The boat is fitted with a SwedishVolvo D3-150diesel engine of 150 hp (112 kW) for docking and manoeuvring. The fuel tank holds 285 U.S. gallons (1,080 L; 237 imp gal) and thefresh water tank has a capacity of 250 U.S. gallons (950 L; 210 imp gal).[1]
The boat is available with a number of different interior arrangements, with three or four cabins. A typical three cabin design has sleeping accommodation for six people, with a double islandberth in the bow cabin, a U-shaped settee plus two seats in the main cabin and two aft cabins, each with two single berths. Thegalley is located on the port side just forward of thecompanionway ladder. The galley is C-shaped and is equipped with a four-burner stove, a refrigerator, freezer and a double sink. A navigation station is opposite the galley, on the starboard side. There are threeheads, one for each cabin.[1][4][5][9]
For reaching and sailing downwind the boat may be equipped with a 3,695 sq ft (343.3 m2)gennaker or acode 0 sail. The design has ahull speed of 10.03 kn (18.58 km/h).[1][4]
In a 2020Sail Universe review noted, this is "a proper bluewater yacht, with all the features for this purpose, but without any compromise in terms of performance."[10]
In a 2021 introductory article forYachting World, Rupert Holmes wrote, "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."[11]
In a 2022Yachting World review, Rupert Holmes noted, "Nautor is billing the Swan 58 as a 'new bluewater concept'. The idea is that the priorities of safety, comfort and autonomy don't compromise performance, or the pleasure of helming the boat. This model is also pitched as a proper bluewater cruiser that a couple can reasonably sail and look after themselves, without a professional skipper."[4]
