the evolution of the One Design Model
The new Swan 601 is an exciting new high performance yacht, very light for her size and built for sailing at fast speed, with a displacement of about 18 tonnes.
The hull shape, drawn by German Frers, is designed with ultimate speed in mind. It is a good, quick, racing orientated hull.
The Swan 601 benefits from Sprint construction techniques for both hull and deck. One of the advantages of Sprint is its large strength to weight ratio, which enables the hull to be built not only lighter, with very large safety margins, making the Swan 601 capable of coping with the worst of sailing conditions.
