The Swan 651 is a Finnish sailboat that was designed by Germán Frers as a blue water cruiser-racer and first built in 1982.[1] [2] [3] [4] [5]
The design was built by Oy Nautor AB in Finland, frlom 1982 until 1991 with 19 boats completed, but it is now out of production.[1] [2] [6]
The Swan 651 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of glassfibre, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig, a raked stem, a reverse transom, a skeg-mounted rudder controlled by a wheel and a fixed fin keel or optional stub keel and retractable centreboard. It displaces 755000NaN0 and carries 317000NaN0 of lead ballast.[1] [2]
The boat has a draft of 11.5feet with the standard keel and is fitted with a British Perkins Engines diesel engine of 1200NaN0 for docking and manoeuvring.[1] [2]
The design has sleeping accommodation for six people, with two bunk beds in each of two forward cabins, a U-shaped settee and a straight settee in the main cabin and an aft cabin with a central, double island berth. The galley is located on the port side just aft of the companionway ladder. The galley is U-shaped and is equipped with a four-burner stove, an ice box and a double sink. A navigation station is opposite the galley, on the starboard side. There are three heads, one for each cabin.[1] [2]
The design has a hull speed of 9.94kn and a PHRF handicap of 6 to -12 for the fin keel version and -6 for the centreboard model.[1] [2] [7]
