This modern design is made to feel at home, compete in the North Atlantic, or cruise in the Mediterranean, promoting Tripp Design’s development of increasingly high-performance cruising yachts.
The lifting keel system gives the boat superb sailing characteristics, as the deep ballast package provides low weight with high stability.
The foil shape, unlike the typical cruiser-racer, is deep and narrow – not compromised by draft restrictions – while still allowing access to harbors and shallow anchorages. The Swan 78 yacht is built with a carbon fiber hull and carbon fiber superstructure.
The boat is located in France and can be inspected there by appointment.
