Re: Swan 42/003, 1981, Ron Holland

It's a possible but very cheap in Euro for the type and size of boat. They had a lot of problems with balsa core decks etc. A serious survey of the fundamentals is vital. Cosmetic details can drive a...

Re: Swan 42/003, 1981, Ron Holland

The 42 is a terrific sea boat and I imagine the 43 by Holland would be similar. When we purchased the 42 the Nautor operative of Nautor Swan Benelux said he felt the fore triangle was a bit large for...

If the fundamentals are good the Swans from the Holland period are excellent boats. Very solid build but make sure
you have a dry hull. At 30 years there will be quite a lot of systemic renewal...

Banjo, Seriously many thanks for the response, it confirms everything others have said. Taking the time to explain fully provides a very useful insight.

Re: Swan 42/003, 1981, Ron Holland

Re 43's being difficult, not just my view also that of a Nautor associate. I don't know the 39 but the 391, certainly there are still a lot about. And it depends who you are and how you define...

Swan 42/003, 1981, Ron Holland

Does anyone have any experiences with the Swan 42 designed by Ron Holland and built by Nautor in the early 80's. 38 were built over that
