Swan 50 ms
6 / 14 - score 59%
The Swan 50 ms is a 49.58ft masthead ketch designed by Sparkman & Stephens and built in fiberglass by Nautor (Swan sailboats) since 1976.
9 units have been built.
The Swan 50 ms is a very heavy sailboat which is under powered. It is reasonably stable / stiff and has an excellent righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a heavy bluewater cruising boat. The fuel capacity is excellent. There is an excellent water supply range.
This boat has an average score but ranks in the top half. It might be a good tradeoff.
