Deck and Hull

The Swan 431 is based on Swans very successful 43 and 44, and features an improved double spreader rig and beamier hull, offering better performance and more interior volume. The 431 was only built for two years, (due to Nautor switching designers from S & S to Ron Holland) but 32 hulls were launched during that short time frame (Swank i sreportedly Hull #22) and the design was considered a success.

Single skin hand laid FRP construction using an interior steel grid which ties together hull and keel to provide additional support and strength, external lead keel attached with stainless steel keel bolts, skeg hung rudder, and glued teak decks (new in 2021) over a divinycell core with stainless steel backing plates in stress areas.
