Swan 43 ss
7 / 31 - score 56%
The Swan 43 ss is a 42.78ft masthead sloop designed by Sparkman & Stephens and built in fiberglass by Nautor (Swan sailboats) between 1967 and 1982.
67 units have been built.
The Swan 43 ss is a moderate weight sailboat which is a good performer. It is very stable / stiff and has an excellent righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a bluewater cruising boat. The fuel capacity is originally small. There is a short water supply range.
This boat has an average score but ranks in the top quarter. It seems difficult to do much better. It is one of the best possible tradeoff for this request.
