The Swan 46 Mk1 is a 1987 sailing yacht designed by German naval architect Frers, combining classical proportions with proven offshore capability. Her fiberglass hull features a round-bilged displacement form paired with a shallow-draft Scheel keel, allowing her to navigate waters others cannot reach. Power comes from a 46 hp Perkins diesel engine, with cruising speed around 6 knots and a maximum of 8 knots under sail.
The boat carries three staterooms and two heads. The main accommodation sits aft with a centerline queen-size berth and private head. The saloon is spacious, and the galley runs through-passage style, providing good galley workflow. Interior woodwork throughout reflects traditional Swan quality and construction standards.
Twin companionways enhance both safety and access, a practical feature uncommon in early Mk1 examples. Navigation equipment includes Raymarine systems installed in recent years. Sails were replaced in 2020. The hull and systems are reported to have received consistent maintenance through its ownership history.
