About Coco

So we’ve recently purchased and launched our second Swan, replacing our beloved Swan 54. Our Swan 54 will always have a special place in our hearts. She was our first yacht and she carried us safely on our long voyage all the way from Finland to New Zealand while we learnt to become ocean sailors. She kept us safe.

The new yacht is a Swan 58, launched in Barcelona in the middle of April 2023, and shes a very different girl. It’s a flatter hull shape, quite a bit wider than the 54, with about 30% more internal volume, and 30% more sail area so she’s pretty powerful and slippery in the water!

The design, which comes from the board of German Frers, is focused on a high performance bluewater cruiser with wonderful and beautifully designed interior spaces and a cockpit you just want to spend most of your days in for outdoor living.

It’s setup so that she can be sailed by a couple (which is handy for us!) and we’ve gone pretty hard on the rig with a Hall Spars carbon mast and boom, EC3 carbon rigging, and North Sails 3Di carbon sails (slab reefing mainsail). All the running rigging (halyards and sheets) have been upgraded to race rigging with ceramic jaws in the jammers. We’ve got a wicked Harken under-deck captive winch for the mainsheet. If you’re building a new yacht, get one. They are awesome.

We’ve got the full suit of B&G electronics; 12″ chart plotters on each pedestal, Nemesis mast mounted wind instruments, radar, forward facing sonar, autopilot, VHF, AIS etc etc..

Going below decks is no hardship! The standard of joinery and finish is top notch, but this is not a traditional dark and dank old style interior – natural light pours in through coach roof windows, overhead hatches and hull windows. If you come sailing with us, you won’t be relegated to a hammock with a sleeping bag… The berths are wide, comfortable with plenty of storage space. We’ve equiped her for comfortable and safe long distance sailing with a fresh water making system, upgraded generator and inverter, a big bank of lithium-Ion batteries to keep everything powered up, aircon, microwave, electric oven and induction stovetop, washer / drier. And of course we’ve upgraded the stereo system with an amp, more speakers and a sub woofer for dancing…

Overall, a lot of thought has gone into the design, there’s a great standard of finish, and the hull shape drawn to prioritise speed and performance. And lets face it, she’s just hot! You can also follow us on Instagram @sailingyachtcoco
