Nautor Swan<\/a> is best known for the modern-day giants of its fleet, but they\u2019re now extending their range into the high 20s with the announcement earlier this year of the ClubSwan 28, an impressive-looking sportboat from avant-garde designer Juan Kouyoumdjian that is said to be \u201cbased on the concept of simplicity, quality and, of course, pure one-design speed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Expected to be launched by late summer, the ClubSwan 28 has been conceived to be \u201cas simple as possible,\u201d while still maintaining a high level of performance in every condition. Nautor Swan\u2019s design brief says: \u201cBoth hull and deck will be built using specifically reinforced fiberglass, with carbon mast and no backstay. The hull has been designed to perform well in all conditions, specifically in the medium\/light winds.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The deck layout design provides a clean and safe cockpit for a crew of four, allowing to race leg-in, sitting inboard. \u201cAll the ergonomic studies have been done around this feature,\u201d says the builder. \u201cThe ClubSwan 28 will have a full kite retrieve system with a sliding hatch on the bow.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to the lifting keel and dimensions, the boat is trailable, and is anticipated to be rigged and unrigged in few hours only. As the renderings show, the sail plan is powerful and the sail quiver includes a mainsail, a jib, an AP kite and a reaching kite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The concept of the rig is all about simplicity, based on one single movement of the rig up and down through a dedicated and simple hydraulic system (mast jack) the mast bend and headstay tension is achieved simultaneously without the need of a backstay thanks to the configuration of the shrouds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cClubSwan 28 is not going to be extreme but will have great performance in medium\/light breeze,\u201d says Federico Michetti, Head of Sports Activities and Product Manager. \u201cThe brief was to have a boat not pushing to the limits of absolute performance, but it is a boat easily manageable and easy to sail.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
