The Swan 391 is a Finnish sailboat that was designed by Ron Holland as a cruiser-racer and first built in 1981.[1] [2] [3] [4] [5]
The design was built by Oy Nautor AB in Finland, from 1981 to 1987, with 52 boats built, but it is now out of production.[1] [2] [3] [6] [7]
The Swan 391 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of glassfibre, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig, a raked stem, a reverse transom, an internally mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a wheel and a fixed fin keel or optional shoal-draft keel. It displaces 189000NaN0 and carries 68000NaN0 of ballast.[1] [2] [3]
The boat has a draft of 7.2feet with the standard keel and 5.5feet with the optional shoal draft keel.[1] [2] [3]
The boat is fitted with a British Perkins Engines diesel engine of for docking and manoeuvring.[1] [2]
The design has sleeping accommodation for nine people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin, an L-shaped settee and a straight settee in the main cabin, plus two upper pilot berths and two aft cabins, one to port with a double berth and one to starboard with a single. The galley is located on the port side abeam the companionway ladder. The galley is L-shaped and is equipped with a three-burner stove, an ice box and a double sink. A navigation station is opposite the galley, on the starboard side. The head is located just aft of the bow cabin on the starboard side.[1] [2] [3]
For sailing downwind the design may be equipped with a symmetrical spinnaker.[1] [2]
The design has a hull speed of 7.71kn and a PHRF handicap of 81 to 96 for the fin keel version and 102 for the shoal draft version.[1] [2] [8]
Sailboat Lab describes the boat, "the Swan 391 is a moderate weight sailboat which is a reasonably good performer. It is stable / stiff and has a good righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a coastal cruiser."[3]
In the 1990 Rolex Swan Atlantic Regatta, a Swan 391, named Full Cry and sailed by Robert Compton, won the Rolex Swan Atlantic Challenge for overall points and also lowest corrected time with an IMS handicap.[9]
