Swan 391 SD Sloop
Description
The Swan 391 SD ("Sloop Deck") is a rare deck saloon variant of the Swan 391 designed by Germán Frers and built by Nautor Swan (Finland), with fewer than 5 hulls produced in 1981–1982. This custom adaptation features a raised saloon for 360° visibility while retaining the 391's racing pedigree, fin keel, spade rudder, fractional sloop rig, teak decks, and luxurious mahogany interior. Combines Frers' performance hull with enhanced cruising comfort for a unique Swan's‑of‑distinction model.
