Swan 48 ss
12 / 55 - score 56%
The Swan 48 ss is a 47.9ft masthead sloop designed by Sparkman & Stephens and built in fiberglass by Nautor (Swan sailboats) between 1971 and 1975.
46 units have been built.
The Swan 48 ss is a heavy sailboat which is slightly under powered. It is stable / stiff and has an excellent righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a heavy bluewater cruising boat. The fuel capacity is average. 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.
