Swan 44 (S&S)
Swan 44 (S&S) is a 43 ′ 11 ″ / 13.4 m monohull sailboat designed by Sparkman & Stephens and built by Nautor (Swan sailboats) between 1972 and 1978.
Rig and Sails
Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.
The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.
Classic hull speed formula:
Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL
Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL
Sail Area / Displacement Ratio
A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.
SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3
- SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
- D : Displacement in pounds.
Ballast / Displacement Ratio
A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.
Ballast / Displacement * 100
Displacement / Length Ratio
A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.
D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³
- D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
- LWL: Waterline length in feet
Comfort Ratio
This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.
Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )
- D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
- LOA: Length overall in feet
- Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet
Capsize Screening Formula
This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.
CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)
S&S design #2112. Shown here is the tall mast version, of which 62 were built. Also sold in the US as PJ-44 (S&S #2112.1).ort Rig: I: 55.0’ J: 18.6’ P: 48.5’ E: 15.0’

Broker's Comments
ARGONAUT is a Swan 44 for which time has stood still. Her owner purchased her in 2001, and sailed in summers in 2001, 2002 and 2003. He then moved the boat to his commercial property and built a custom shed alongside his warehouse to store the boat, working on her restoration from 2003-2017. The rig was also inside stored. The shed was heated during the winter months, and topsides covered with soft fabrics. She has been hauled since 2017 under shrinkwrap at Safe Harbor Pilots Point in Westbrook CT. As such, her interior woodwork is well above average in condition, not to mention the teak decks. This owner has meticulously restored her, likely spending a year alone on removing corrosion from the toerails and repainting them! All the non-teak surfaces on deck are in white Awlgrip, the boom is painted, and the owner is still enthusiastic, but age is catching up.
ARGONAUT is located at Brewer’s Pilots Point North Yard in Westbrook, CT. She is under shrinkwrap, and the owner is happy to show it on short notice.
ARGONAUT is as much of an original Swan 44 as is possible, with an interior that is so close to original, there is no ripping out of past owner modifications. She has the unmodified underbody and good teak decks which were replaced just before this ownership. Since she has been undercover when hauled, they are in really good shape. She needs full safety gear and a dinghy/outboard. =
Owner's Comments
Minneford’s Yacht Yard for about five years, and was introduced to several of the early Swans that were arriving in the USA at that time, as well as being invited to sail & race on many boats. The Swan 44 was a boat that left me in awe, and that design stood out for me, and when I saw ARGONAUT on the market, I purchased her. I picked up the boat in Newport and sailed her to Brewer’s and moved her in to my warehouse, where I spent many years just working on her restoration.

A boat with a BN of 1.6 or greater is a boat that will be reefed often in offshore cruising. Derek Harvey, "Multihulls for Cruising and Racing", International Marine, Camden, Maine, 1991, states that a BN of 1 is generally accepted as the dividing line between so-called slow and fast multihulls.
