Background
- The Swan 80 is a fast Maxi-cruiser, elegant when stationary and powerful and agile underway.

Construction
- The hull form exhibits a near plumb bow with an entry opening out to a modest beam carried aft with a broad flat section towards the stern.
- Below the waterline, a high performance T shaped bulb keel and a deep balanced rudder ensure responsive maneuverability.
- The hull is foam-cored and carbon-fiber reinforced, using a pre-preg lay-up that ensures a stiff laminate with excellent strength and fatigue properties.
- Two deck layouts are offered: An open transom with an aft deck that sweeps sternwards, or a more protective closed transom with a raised aft deck.
- There are two cockpits. The aft cockpit has ample space for relaxing and sunbathing. The second, amidships, provides comfortable, protected seating around a semi-permanent table and access to the main companionway.
