Swan 76 Deckhouse Ketch Design 2331



The Swan 76 was available in two versions, with flush deck or deckhouse. The deckhouse version shown here was only available with the centerboard option whereas the flush deck was available with a deep keel. Five boats were built during a production run that ran from 1979-1981.

Here are the plans.


Here's an article from Sailing magazine. Double click for zoom.

Preliminary Design Modern Flybridge Motorsailer Ketch



This design is currently in development. It's an interesting layout. There is no wheelhouse nor inside steering station. There are twin steering stations on the flybridge. The open floor plan layout within the main deckhouse includes a large "country kitchen" style galley and breakfast nook opposite. Formal dining will take place in the aft deck cockpit. There are actually five guest staterooms in all, two located forward of the engine room.

She is to be constructed of aluminum.

Here is the general arrangement.
