Por qué los regatistas eligen el Swan 45

The Swan 45 is a Frers performance racer with a cruising-grade interior, and it won Sailing World's best racer-cruiser award. Testers praised its dinghy-like manoeuvrability and its pace against bigger boats, which suits both buoy and distance racing. Early boats had rudder failures, later fixed, and the boom sits low over the helm.

  • Very agile for a 45-footer, tacks and turns like a dinghy
  • Proven race winner on corrected time against larger boats
  • Comfortable interior allows cruising
  • One-design class racing at Swan events
  • Early rudder failures led to a stronger retrofit
  • High purchase price

Lo que dicen regatistas y probadores · con nuestras palabras, a partir de las páginas enlazadas

  • It held station on the start line and spun within its length; the tester would choose it for cruising, buoy or distance racing.

  • He noted rudder losses at an early Swan Cup, since addressed by stronger rudders, and a boom low enough over the wheel to catch crew.
