The Club Swan 50 may be suitable for weekend cruising but she is also a wolf in sheep’s clothing. Winner of multiple Volvo Ocean Races, Argentinean designer Juan Kouyoumdjian has incorporated many of the lessons from the ocean-going Volvo Open 70 into this powerful 50-footer: twin rudders, a no-compromise bowsprit, a deck-stepped three-spreader carbon mast, and square-topped mainsail.

“The ClubSwan50 is a modern one-design class much like the J/70 – only significantly larger, more powerful and even more demanding in handling for the crew.”
