3 / 8 - score 58%

41 units have been built.
The Swan 65 ss ketch is a heavy sailboat which is a reasonably good performer. It is very 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 half. It might be a good tradeoff.
