The Nautor 50, also called the Swan 50 MS, is a Finnish sailboat that was designed by Sparkman & Stephens as a motorsailer and first built in 1976.[1] [2] [3] [4]

Production

The design was built by Oy Nautor AB in Finland, from 1976 to 1978, with nine boats completed.[1] [2] [5] [6]

When production ended the moulds were sold to Siltala Yachts. That company modified the design and sold it as the Nauticat 52.[1] [2]

Design

The Nautor 50 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of glassfibre, with wood trim. It has a masthead ketch rig, a raked stem, an angled transom, a skeg-mounted rudder controlled by a wheel and a fixed fin keel. It displaces 509260NaN0 and carries 149260NaN0 of lead ballast.[1] [2]

The boat has a draft of 5.58feet with the standard keel.[1] [2]

The boat is fitted with a British Perkins Engines diesel engine of 1150NaN0. The fuel tank holds and the fresh water tank has a capacity of .[1] [2]

The design has sleeping accommodation for nine people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin, two mid cabins, each with two bunk beds, an U-shaped settee in the main salon and two aft cabins, one with a double berth on the port side and one with a single bunk on the port side. The galley is located on the starboard side just forward of the companionway ladder. The galley is C-shaped and is equipped with a three-burner stove, an ice box and a double sink. There are two heads, one just aft of the bow cabin on the port side and one on the starboard side in the aft cabin.[1] [2]

The design has a hull speed of 8.21kn.[1] [2]
