Design 2436 Avance 40



The year was 1982 and it is my suspicion is that since we had ceased being the "official" designers of the Nautor Swan line (ending with the Swan 76), someone in Finland saw an opportunity to perhaps attract the Swan aficionados to this new brand. Built by the AB Oja Batar Group, this design is certainly reminiscent of the Nautor line.

Here is a design review from SAILING magazine from 1983. Double click for readable version.

Here are the plans.
