Swan 42 CD Sloop
Description
The Swan 42 CD ("Centerboard Deck") is a 42‑foot (12.80 m) shoal draft variant of the Swan 42 designed by Ron Holland and built by Nautor Swan (Finland) in 1978, with limited production (fewer than 10 hulls) of this configuration. Featuring a pivoting centerboard (draft 4'3" up/8'3" down) instead of fixed keel, it retains Holland's racing pedigree with fractional sloop rig, teak decks, mahogany interior, and exceptional craftsmanship while offering shallow water access. Ideal for cruising with racing capability
