The Swan 48 frers is a moderate weight sailboat which is a good performer. It is stable / stiff and has a good righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a bluewater cruising boat.
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.
