Club Swan 42 Nautor’s Swan / Frers Design Office produced a winning concept based on a ground-breaking partnership between the NYYC and Nautor’s Swan. The NYYC unveiled a competition to produce a one-design yacht that satisfied the diverse needs of its Club Members; as well as being highly competitive, offering all the latest technology, the yacht had to be able to deliver comfortable cruising. Through the Club Swan 42 Class, the NYYC had a vision to create a truly Corinthian class to be contested by owner-drivers and predominantly amateur crews. The model has a fast-growing presence on the global stage, and Nautor’s Swan is fully committed to supporting the development of the class. The philosophy on which the Club Swan 42 was built was that of a competitive offshore racer cruiser. Underlying the clean, modern lines of the yacht is a construction of the very highest quality which harnesses the latest in building and materials technology. A key challenge for the Frers Design Team was that as well as one-design racing, the yacht had to be capable of winning races within open divisions, even under the IRC handicap rule - something this unique Swan has already accomplished. The hull and deck of the Club swan 42 are a sandwich construction of infusion moulded E-Glass / vinylester laminate featuring carbon fibre reinforcements. The material lay up provides high fore and aft stiffness for better performance, rig control and durability. The Club Swan 42 has a T-shaped keep of composite construction with a fin of high-tensile steel and a 3.2 ton lead bulb at 2.7m below the water line. Both the keel and the rudder blade have been designed using Computational Fluid Dynamics and Finite Element Analysis to guarantee optimal foil shapes. The model offers a modern interior with a light, airy feeling to it. The accommodation and the central areas such as the galley and navigation station have been planned to maximise space depending on whether the yacht is in racing or cruising mode. The finishing touches and high level of comfort reflect the quality for which Nautor’s Swan is renowned. 38 39
