Swan 45—Quality, Maneuverability, and Pace

• By Chuck Allen
• Updated: November 6, 2002

The first time I saw the Swan 45, it was racing in the American Spring Series on Long Island Sound. Rush looked small compared to Idler, CanvasBack, and the other IMS 50s. Starting after them in the Farr 40 Class, I watched with interest. The Swan lined up on a port-tack approach with 1:20 left, with the rest of the fleet already lined up luffing on starboard. There was a little space down at the pin and sure enough Rush tacked in there like a dinghy. With large swept-back spreaders and no runners, it seemed to have much more maneuverability than its competition. Rush sat for a bit, sheeted in, and accelerated off the line in good shape. We started and were concentrating on our own race, but I couldn’t help noticing the first division coming downwind with Rush out front, boat for boat. It became quite obvious that this was something special.

The next race Rush won on corrected time. I remember sitting around the clubhouse afterwards listening to the gossip about the new boat that had just handled the fleet out there. The boat looks really cool on the water with its plumb bow and long waterline, but when racing against 50-footers it looked small; yet it absolutely outperformed them!

When I learned the Swan 45 was in this year’s BOTY contest, I couldn’t wait to check it out. On arrival for the dockside inspections, there was a crowd surrounding the Swan, always a good sign. Any time they make you where those booties that go over your shoes so you don’t mark-up the deck, I look at why. In this case the reason was the first-class teak decks, which look great. In addition, all the lines are led underneath the cabin top, which makes for a clean-looking boat. I went right to the controls and immediately noticed the Harken big-boat traveler system control line led from the base of the wheel support. Giving it a try, it moved extremely easily and performed just as well later when loaded up during sailing.

The backstay was simple and efficient as well. It used a single Spectra line that led below into the lazarette where a Navtec hydraulic ram handled the job with minimal gear topside. Our test boat had a hydraulic control panel on either side of the cockpit where the main trimmer could easily adjust pressure. These two controls, the traveler system and the backstay, were typical of the styling and concentration of weight as low as possible throughout the boat.

The owner of the boat we tested had fitted out his vessel for cruising. He had power winches, watermaker, and a second head below on the starboard side, aft. Rush, on the other hand, is set up more for racing, with the aft head removed and another bunk installed for distance racing. Both versions look killer and are rigged so simply that this size boat won’t intimidate the average sailor.

In conversation with Kevin Dailey, the company rep, we addressed the issue of “Rudders Falling Off”–something that happened to some 45s at the Swan Cup in Europe last summer. Dailey said that the company hadn’t expected the boats to be going so fast downwind and that some rudders did sheer off. He said that the issue has been resolved and all existing boats are being retrofit with a beefier construction. He added that Rush had replaced theirs before they raced in the Swan Cup, and it wasn’t one of the boats that lost its rudder–they finished third overall.

Down below the boat looked great, offered nice access to all systems, and was quite comfortable. The batteries were stored inside the dining table, above the keel, in a perfect spot to apply weight for racing. The settee backs folded up to double as sea berths, making this a really good interior for either long distance races or cruising.

When it was time to go sailing on the mighty yacht, it wasn’t the best weather–overcast with a light rain and only blowing 4 to 8 knots in flukey puffs. But I was still ready to see if my experience would meet the expectations set last spring as I saw Rush crush the cream of Long Island Sound racers. Under power, I floored the Volvo diesel and she handled well. The boat would stop and go without any issues, ran unbelievably quietly, and spun a 360 within its own length.

During my helm time under sail, I like to simulate a stop-and-go prestart maneuver at the pin end of a line, followed by a 360-degree penalty turn–as if we hit the mark. Able to hold it nicely for about 45 seconds at the simulated pin end, the boat had a great feel on the helm–nicely controlled. The boat also accelerated quickly with only a few people on the rail. The breeze built slightly to 8 or 9 knots, so we twisted off the top of the sails, which helped us get some height out of the boat. We did the “hit the mark” maneuver and she performed perfectly. The only thing I can compare the Swan 45 to is a big dinghy when it comes to maneuvering like this.

Tacking was simple; the most important controls are the mainsheet tension and traveler height. A little bit of mainsheet ease seemed to help through the tack with lots of twist coming out. As we used more mainsheet tension–until the boom was almost hitting the wheel–the speed rose. Watch out for the boom, though; it overhangs the wheel by a foot and could hit you during a tack or jibe.

What I liked most was that the boat got up to speed and just seemed to lock in–it was also hard to fall out of the groove. Downwind was more of the same– the boat performs superbly! No problems with the rudder stalling out when heading up with an asymmetric kite tacked to the bow. It really goes, climbing to the targets and beyond. Jibing was also simple; without runners, you can whip it around like a small boat.

Even though the price tag is up there at $568,000 and likely to be $750,000 in race-ready mode, the Swan 45 was clearly the boat out of all those tested that I would choose to buy (if I had the money) to go cruising, buoy racing, or long distance racing on. If you get a chance to sail the Swan 45–go for it–you won’t be disappointed!

Swan 45 is a 45 ′ 4 ″ / 13.8 m monohull sailboat designed by German Frers and built by Nautor (Swan sailboats) starting in 2001.

Rig and Sails

Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.

Classic hull speed formula:

Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL

Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.

SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3

• SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
• D : Displacement in pounds.

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.

Ballast / Displacement * 100

Displacement / Length Ratio

A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
• LWL: Waterline length in feet

Comfort Ratio

This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
• LOA: Length overall in feet
• Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet

Capsize Screening Formula

This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

Although the new Swan 45 shares styling themes with her ancestors, she is not the same type of boat. She is the progeny of the high-tech and rapid Swan 70 and 80, luxurious light-displacement cruising/racing yachts, also designed by German Frers. Like these semi-custom yachts, the 45 has an appetite for nautical miles, whether the owners are racing or cruising. In a way, the story of the Swan 45 is the story of the Nautor Group and its take on the future of the Swan line.

Swan made its reputation in the 1970s and 1980s on the bottom of its midsize yachts-robustly built, well designed, handsome outside and luxurious inside. They were fast, too, having been drawn by Sparkman & Stephens, Ron Holland and German Frers. A Swan 65 won the Whitbread crewed race around the world in 1973/74, a great many owners race their yachts in the Swan regattas staged in the Med and in U.S. waters, and Swans showed well in the Admiral’s Cup. Tapping into the popularity of offshore one-design classes, Swan developed the 45 as a class boat, and the company invited some owners to participate in the development process.

Tom Stark, an avid racer and family man living in Connecticut, is one of the owner/developers and was among the first sailors in the United States to take delivery of a 45. The Swan office in Stamford, Connecticut, invited me to sail with the crew during a tune-up session. They would be testing a variety of headsails for the next race.

Stark’s boat, Rush , nestled in her slip holding her own among a fleet of Farr 40s and the like, which tend to wear their purpose all over the topsides. Rush leaves a person guessing-more Pierce Brosnan as 007 than Arnold Schwarzenegger as the Terminator. Decks paved in honey-color teak, she appears dressed for a party in Newport, Porto Cervo or Long Beach. A blister of a cabin trunk emerges from her foredeck and grows gracefully to its terminus at the cockpit. Although this trunk recalls those of midsize Swans from the 1980s, it’s softer and higher. Narrow and nearly rectangular portlights-two on each side-stretch fore and aft, disguising the height of the trunk while they light the saloon.

Swan’s goal for the 45 from the outset was simplicity and ease of operation, cruising or racing. Following the trend made popular by Wally Yachts, Swan cleared the decks of clutter. Most of the lines run in tunnels beneath the deck and coachroof. The genoa track snuggles closely to the trunk cabin-off the beaten path between the cockpit and the foredeck-and the line that adjusts the sheet lead runs aft through fairleads on the sides of trunk cabin. The continuous mainsheet, which prevents trimming imbalance side to side, runs from the traveler up to and along the length of the boom. At the forward end of the boom, it angles down and outboard to enter a tunnel under the deck. It emerges from the deck right forward of a winch on the cockpit coaming each side of the helm. The mainsheet winches and traveler are within reach of the helmsman. The primary winches are forward near the companionway.

The cockpit sole is flat, roomy and generally uncluttered, which serves the cruiser as well as the racer. Although the transom is open aboard Rush , Swan offers a drop-in closure for cruising folk who need the security it provides.

A 60-inch wheel bisects the after portion of the cockpit. We don’t readily associate a 60-inch wheel with cruising yachts, but this one links to a wonderfully smooth and accurate manual system, comprising Vectran cables, a quadrant under the compass, plus easy-turning sheaves. This big wheel lets the helmsman sit outboard either side of the cockpit to get the view he wants. I prefer the leeward side most times, so I can see the telltales on the genoa. When I stood on the high side aboard Rush and the leeward rail dipped toward the water under a press of 3DL, I missed having a foot brace on the sole each side of the helm.

Swan also carried the theme of simplicity into the rig. Two sets of swept spreaders mind the mast and, combined with a full-beam staying base, eliminate the need for running backstays. A hydraulically adjustable permanent backstay controls the tension on the forestay and bend in the carbon mast. A tuning device that you rarely, if ever, find on a cruising boat is an adjustable mast step. Hidden in the bilges of the 45 is a simple jacking system that lets the crew move the foot of the mast fore and aft. This changes the relationship between the sail’s center of effort and the center of lateral resistance created by the hull and the appendages. Raking the mast forward or aft changes the balance of these two forces, which alters the characteristics of the helm, creating more or less weather helm. Too much weather helm develops an excessive amount of drag relative to the lift. Lee helm, opposite of weather helm, doesn’t create any lift and encourages the boat to run off in the gusts.

Rush ‘s crew had tuned her well under the working sails, which let me quickly find the groove and keep her there in the winds of 8 to 10 knots. The steering wheel telegraphed to my fingertips the action at the rudder, which prevented me from over-steering and losing the wind.

After the crew hanked on the A1 jib-head reaching sail, we were able to make wind speed in the light conditions. Rush tacked and jibed like the spirited performer she is, asking for the helmsman’s undivided attention to keep her from exiting the tack at too high an angle or falling off too much at the end of a jibe.

Fans of the early Swans ought to feel at home in the forest of teak and simple fabrics belowdecks. Unlike high-gloss finish, which makes me afraid to touch anything, the hand-rubbed satin finish on the 45 encourages the casual approach to cruising. I wouldn’t mind a few dings and scratches in the Swan. The off-white vinyl overhead brightens the interior and actually sets the teak aglow when the sun shines through the hatches and portlights.

You won’t find any gimmicks or surprises in the arrangement plan. This traditional approach succeeds now as well as it did 75 years ago because it works. Swan provides generous fiddles on the counters and large radii on the corners of the furniture. The wood shop builds a lot of the furniture outside the hull and installs it before the deck goes on. A dedicated wet locker occupies the space abaft the nav station on the starboard side.

In spite of Swan’s progress toward high-tech composites, the company has yet to build a cored bottom. The 45 uses a balsa core in the deck and topsides, and a carbon-fiber reinforced solid laminate in the bottom.

Swans generally offer good value, in part because the company has maintained a healthy price for previously owned boats. I used to think Mercedes when I considered a Swan, but now I have to add the suffix AMG-the automaker’s hot rod division.

With revitalised and pro-active class management, Swan 45 racing will continue appeal to a broad range of yachtsmen.   A fundamental philosophy exists within the class to constrain running costs and to reward owners with pleasurable competition. Strictly owner driven, with a limited number of professional sailors onboard and a limited stock of new sails allowed each season, the aim is to ensure racing is close and exciting.  The Swan 45 Class benefits from its own PRO and, at each Class event, will race multiple Windward-Leeward races on dedicated courses.

Your team delivered on every mark. You’ve got an amazing broker in Mark Wattrus and I’m confident you will have continued success moving forward together. He was available 24/7 whenever I had questions. We had a great initial visit on the boat and his marketing plan and photos were superb

I bought a yacht that I had never seen. I did this because I trusted my broker Andrew Holland. It was not an easy job for Andrew, as I am an experienced boat builder and owner of previous yachts, but work in West Africa. Imagine how hard it was to communicate what I was looking for. Andrew came up with exactly what I wanted. He dealt with time delays, all my questions at odd hours, and was there for the survey. He reported honestly and professionally. After buying the yacht, I arrived at the boat on a Sunday night, after dark, after travelling from West Africa to the Caribbean, and found it was better than expected. He never pulled punches and made me aware of shortfalls. I expected to spend my one month leave working on the boat, but actually spent less than one week, and was able to spend 3 weeks sailing – wonderful bonus.

Thank you Andrew for putting up with all my questions, all my worries and all my crazy out of the time zone concerns – you were totally professional, but also I know that if and when we meet up, it will be like a friend finally meeting. You are always welcome on Aseka.

Outstanding company with professional subject matter experts. If I were to buy or sell cruising sailboat, particularly a catamaran, Andrew would be my go to broker.

I have been sailing since I was a child and attended Massachusetts Maritime Academy. But when my wife and I began the process of purchasing an ocean cruising/racing catamaran, I realized that this is a world unto itself. Obviously, we needed to find someone knowledgeable to help us make an informed decision. More importantly, we needed someone honest and willing to put our interests before his or her own. I was lucky to work with Phil Berman at The Multihull Company. He repeatedly shunned the fast buck, choosing instead to work the long road to connect us with the “perfect boat”. I would be glad to recommend Phil and his company to anyone planning to purchase or sell a performance sailing machine.

Andrew Hodgdon was our broker when we bought our 2018 Lagoon 450F in Antigua in April 2922. He provided great service and was very attentive to our needs. We would highly recommend Andrew and the Multihull Company.
