5 / 25 - score 59%
The Swan 56 is a 57.51ft masthead sloop designed by German Frers and built in fiberglass by Nautor (Swan sailboats) between 1996 and 2006.
46 units have been built.
The Swan 56 is a light sailboat which is a good performer. It is reasonably stable / stiff and has an excellent righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a bluewater cruising boat. The fuel capacity is good. There is an excellent 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.
