Design

[edit]
Swan 41

The Swan 41 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; a skeg-mounted rudder controlled by a wheel and a fixed, swept fin keel. It displaces 23,800 lb (10,795 kg) and carries 9,700 lb (4,400 kg) of lead ballast. A 3 ft (0.91 m) shorter mast was also available.[1][2]

The boat has a draft of 6.90 ft (2.10 m) with the standard fin keel.[1][2]

The boat is fitted with a British Perkins Engines 4-108 diesel engine of 37 hp (28 kW) for docking and manoeuvring. The fuel tank holds 26 U.S. gallons (98 L; 22 imp gal) and the fresh water tank has a capacity of 66 U.S. gallons (250 L; 55 imp gal).[1][2]

The design has sleeping accommodation for eight people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin, two straight settee berths and two pilot berths in the main cabin and two aft cabins, each with a single berth. The galley is located on the port side just forward of the companionway ladder. The galley is L-shaped and is equipped with a three-burner stove, an ice box and a sink. A navigation station is opposite the galley, on the starboard side. The head is located opposite the galley, aft of the companionway on the starboard side.[1][2]

The design has a hull speed of 7.37 kn (13.65 km/h) and a PHRF handicap of 102 to 114.[1][2][7]
