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.[1][2][3][4]
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.[1][2][3][5][6]
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 110,000 lb (49,895 kg) and carries 44,000 lb (19,958 kg) of lead ballast.[1][2][3]
The boat has a draft of 12.00 ft (3.66 m) with the standard wing keel. It is fitted with a Swedish Volvo Penta diesel engine of 282 hp (210 kW) for docking and manoeuvring.[1][2][3]
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.[1][2][3]
The design has a hull speed of 11.01 kn (20.39 km/h) and a PHRF handicap of -39.[1][2][3][7]
