German Frers-Designed Swan 78-001 Haromi and Swan 78-002 Kinina Launched in Pietarsaari

The Swan 78-001 Haromi and Swan 78-002 Kinina, two of the four Swan 78s designed by German Frers, have recently been launched in Pietarsaari. These luxurious yachts exemplify Nautor’s Swan’s expertise in crafting high-performance racing and cruising yachts.

Upcoming Yacht Shows and Events

Haromi is set to make a splash at the Rolex Swan Cup 2018 in Porto Cervo (September 9-16) and will also be showcased at the Genova Boat Show. Kinina will be on display at the Cannes Yacht Show (September 11-16).

The latest version of the Swan 115, hull number 004, will have its worldwide preview at the Monaco Yacht Show. Additionally, Nautor’s Swan will participate in the Annapolis Boat Show in the United States.

Design and Performance Features

The Swan 78 incorporates all of Nautor’s extensive knowledge and experience in blue-water racing and cruising yachts. With a length kept within the EC 24.00 meters limit, its beamy and powerful hull form ensures superior performance. Modern hull lines, a flared stern, twin rudders, and a telescopic keel make Haromi ideal for fast long-distance cruising or enjoying privacy with friends and family.

Haromi boasts a bespoke performance package enhancing her racing capabilities. This includes a longer bowsprit, ECsix carbon rigging, halyard locks, a square-top mainsail with running backstays, a mainsheet traveller, and additional powered winches on the coachroof.

Keel and Build Specifications

Keel options for the Swan 78 include deep telescopic lifting, fixed deep, and fixed shallow configurations, all designed to maintain stability. The twin rudder configuration and standard sail plan remain constants. Kinina, the Swan 78-002, features a standard keel with a 4-meter draft.

Built with prepreg glass/carbon for the hull and bulkheads, and full carbon epoxy sandwich with Corecell foam core for the deck and structures, these yachts are vacuum and oven cured for optimal strength and durability.

German Frers comments on Sirena 85

“The new larger member of the fleet represents a continuation of the design and building program.

The hull characteristics and design are an evolution of her smaller sister. Low resistance and a sea kindly hull that performs efficiently and with a minimum of fuel consumption through all speed ranges. The maximum speed will be in the order of 26 knots, depending on the final power plant selected from among the options offered.”

In spite of her long over all dimensions she qualifies under 24.00 meters L.O.A.

Cruising range will be more than 2,500 miles at 10 knots.Interior volumes are considerable and incorporate a full-width master suite on the upper deck equipped with a balcony opening over the sea.

Accommodations are an owner’s suite plus four in-suite cabins, one of them a very large VIP guest suite.

The fully equipped bridge is independent and separated from the rest of the interior accommodations, with direct access to a double helm on the ample flybridge.”
