The Swan 46 Mk II is a Finnish sailboat that was designed by Germán Frers as a cruiser-racer and first built in 1989.[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7]
The Swan 46 Mk II is a development of the Swan 46 Mk I with a modified keel and other changes.[1] [2] [3]
The design was built by Oy Nautor AB in Finland, from 1989 to 1997 with 28 boats completed, but it is now out of production.[1] [2] [3] [8] [9]
The Swan 46 Mk II is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of glassfibre, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig, a raked stem, a reverse transom, an internally mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a wheel and a fixed fin keel with a weighted bulb or optional stub keel and retractable centreboard. It displaces 313000NaN0 and carries 114000NaN0 of lead ballast.[1] [2] [3]
The keel-equipped version of the boat has a draft of 8.2feet, while the centreboard-equipped version has a draft of 9feet with the centreboard extended and 5.5feet with it retracted, allowing operation in shallow water.[1] [2] [3]
The boat is fitted with a British Perkins Engines diesel engine of 500NaN0 for docking and manoeuvring. The fuel tank holds and the fresh water tank has a capacity of .[1] [2] [3]
The design has sleeping accommodation for six people, with an off-set double berth in the bow cabin, two straight settees in the main cabin, along with a pilot berth and an aft cabin with a central double island berth. The galley is located on the port side just forward of the companionway ladder. The galley is of straight configuration and is equipped with a three-burner stove, an ice box and a double sink. A navigation station is opposite the galley, on the starboard side. There are two heads, one in the bow cabin on the port side and one on the starboard side aft.[1] [2] [3]
The design has a hull speed of 8.24kn and a PHRF handicap of 54 to 63 with the fin keel.[1] [2] [3] [10]
