The Swan 77 is a Finnish sailboat that was designed by Germán Frers as a blue water cruiser-racer and first built in 1992.^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4]^[5]

Production

The design was built by Oy Nautor AB in Finland, from 1992 until 2003, with 10 boats completed, but it is now out of production.^[1]^[2]^[3]^[6]^[7]

Design

The Swan 77 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of glassfibre, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig; a raked stem, a raised counter, reverse transom; an internally mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a wheel and a fixed fin keel. It displaces 112,435 lb (51,000 kg) and carries 39,683 lb (18,000 kg) of lead ballast.^[1]^[2]^[3]

The boat has a draft of 11.15 ft (3.40 m) with the standard keel.^[1]^[2]^[3]

The boat is fitted with a British Perkins Engines diesel engine of 220 hp (164 kW) for docking and manoeuvring. The fuel tank holds 459 U.S. gallons (1,740 L; 382 imp gal) and the fresh water tank has a capacity of 462 U.S. gallons (1,750 L; 385 imp gal).^[1]^[2]^[3]

Interiors fitted vary, but typical is one with sleeping accommodation for eight people, with a single berth in the forepeak two bunk beds in the forward cabin, two U-shaped settees in the main cabin, two mid cabins one with two bunk beds and the other a single berth, and an aft cabin with a double berth on the port side, plus a large settee. The galley is located on the starboard side just forward of the main cabin. The galley is an open "L"-shape and is equipped with a four-burner stove, an ice box and a double sink. A navigation station is on the starboard side of the companionway steps. There are five heads, one for each cabin.^[1]^[2]^[3]

The design has a hull speed of 10.41 kn (19.28 km/h) and a PHRF handicap of zero.^[1]^[2]^[3]^[8]

Operational history
