Swan 57 (S&S)
Description
The Swan 57 S&S (Sparkman & Stephens design #2297) is a classic offshore cruiser-racer designed by Sparkman & Stephens as one of their final collaborations with Nautor Swan. It was built by Oy Nautor AB in Finland from 1977 to 1984, with a total of 49 hulls completed. Available primarily as a masthead sloop (with a ketch rig option also offered), the boat features robust fiberglass construction, optional teak decks, a fin keel with rudder on skeg, and elegant S&S styling with a raked bow, moderate sheer, and powerful yet balanced hull form suited for both competitive racing and comfortable long-distance bluewater cruising.

Sailrite does its best to publish accurate dimensions, but we often find it worthwhile to have our customers measure their boats carefully before we produce kits for them.
