The first Swan yacht ever produced was the Swan 36, which introduced, a significant number of innovations
such as fibreglass hull construction, having the rudder positioned right aft, having a skeg separate from the keel,

In other words, a fibreglass vessel whose behaviour and safety equalled that of the traditional wooden vessels
and which could provide greater steering stability but with less weight and better living space. A yacht which
marked the dawning of one of the most prestigious boat yards in the world, whose products have come to
embody luxury and quality in the sailing industry, always respecting the founder’s motto of “the very best”
