2015 August 17
SAILING's editors roundup the best new boats you'll see at boat shows this year
Swan 54
German Frers designed a lot of comfort in 54’. The galley is 9 feet long and can hold up to three refrigerators. The couch is a comfortable 9 feet long. Topsides, the bimini and dodger fold down into a recess making for a clean-looking cockpit with a 7-foot fold-down swim platform. The 54 is rigged for a genoa, and the designer notes suggest cruising under a genoa alone. A cutter rig is optional, as is a centerboard instead of fixed keel. LOA 54’1”; Beam 16’; Draft 8’; Displ. 48,500 lbs.; Sail area 1,583 sq. ft., www.swan54.com. Price: $1.2 million
