IO of Cowes, is a semi-custom Swan 62RS with raised deck-house yacht with numerous variations from the original build specification to improve her further.  The current owner is very experienced and created a very comfortable, well executed and fast cruising yacht. There are a number of small features that have been added to the build which make this Swan unique. Examples include;

• 12mm nominal teak deck from new

• Upgraded deck winch package including electric primaries and main sheet winch

• Flush fitting Nautor deck hatches

• Flush deck cleats

• Custom interior with additional stowage in all lockers, removable forward bulkhead providing two or three cabin options.

• Fully equipped galley with additional stowage and separate bar area with bottle and glasses stowage

• The interior was developed with the owner to provide a luxurious but practical space with a very high attention to detail. Lockers are fitted with timber compartments, fiddles and additional storage solutions.

• Safety is of a very high importance and the yacht has additional extinguishers, torches, hatch covers etc to provide high levels of security whilst at sea.

Note: launch date was 2002

HULL & APPENDAGES

Scantlings, materials, and workmanship are consistent with the construction of a light hull without sacrificing strength or stiffness.

Construction

The hull is of a single skin construction using glass/aramid hybrid fibre reinforced polyester laminate.  A high proportion of the fibres are unidirectional, giving a stiff laminate with excellent strength and fatigue properties.  Structural bulkheads are of a marine plywood and laminated to the hull and deck with foam strips.  Stiffener flanges are uni-directional layup over foam core.

Engine beds are of GRP and special care is taken to ensure rigid foundation and proper adhesion to Hull.

The hull has been painted in white Awlgrip in October 2016. The boot top and cavita lines are in green to match the covers and exterior theme of the yacht.

There is uncoloured gelcoat below the waterline and the bottom of the hull is treated with an epoxy primer for improved blister resistance, and then antifouled.

Ballast keel is a lead casting with antimony and carefully finished to an accurate shape

Retractable bow thruster Max Power including separate battery bank

Stripes are painted in Awlgrip

Wide bathing platform hydraulically operated in lieu of standard

Rudder

The rudder is foam filled with GRP and a tubular tapered stock of E glass composite supported by two self-aligning roller bearings

Steering Systems

Steering wheels can be disconnected from the steering system when autopilot is in use, and teak steering wheels with carbon spokes fitted in lieu of standard. There are two autopilots fitted for safety and both operate independently of each other.

Through hull fittings

Sea cocks of bronze for all through hull connections below the waterline. Fittings are located in accessible positions and the inboard side of the seacock is fitted with a spigot long enough to take two hose clamps. 

DECK

Deck Equipment

Scantlings, materials and workmanship throughout our consistent with the construction of a light deck.

Decks of sandwich construction using glass/aramid hybrid fibre reinforced polyester laminates, with low-density closed cell foam, which is glued to the hull.  High-density core fitted under deck fittings and standard deck surface fitted with a teak deck finish nominally 9 mm.
