کلب سوین 28 — ایک ہلکا پھلکا ڈیزائن جو کلب ریسنگ کو آسان اور قابل رسائی بناتا ہے

With a displacement of just 1,200kg اور ایک شعاع کی 2.5m, ، دی ClubSwan 28 is designed for straightforward logistics: it will fit inside a 40′ container, can be trailered behind many SUVs, and its deck‑stepped mast plus cassette rudder allow rigs to be erected or dropped in roughly four hours by two experienced hands; a crane is required to launch from the trailer and the lifting keel reduces draft to 0.95m for harbour moves.

Design and production at a glance

The ClubSwan 28 is a one‑design sportsboat from Nautor Swan, penned by Juan Kouyoumdjian and built in Spain by the Sinergia Racing Group. It follows the more radical members of the ClubSwan family but compromises performance with simplicity to broaden access to club racing circuits, notably events that congregate in hotspots such as St Tropez and other Mediterranean regatta venues.

Hull, keel and appendages

The foam‑cored hull emphasizes lightness and stiffness. A pragmatic L‑shaped aluminium keel with lead bulb provides a draft of 1.80m down and 0.95m up, enabling both high‑performance sailing and easier marina manoeuvres. A single, high aspect ratio rudder mirrors the keel depth and is mounted in a removable cassette for easy transport.

Rig and sails

The carbonfibre rig takes cues from skiff architecture with a large foretriangle and a 2.2m bowsprit for an efficient masthead gennaker setup. There is no backstay; rig tension is set by a hydraulic ram beneath the mast with mast controls relying heavily on a cunningham and an inverted vang. Owners select sailmakers within prescribed cloth weights; the standard inventory includes a fully‑battened mainsail, two jibs and two gennakers.

On‑deck ergonomics

There is no cabin — storage lives under the covered bow and in a large foredeck locker accessed via sliding hatch. The cockpit is deliberately expansive and carries five crew comfortably (optimal crew weight ≈ 875kg), making mixed crews and club teams practical. Deck hardware is simple: two Harken winches and a mainsheet system aft with Seadeck soft foam underfoot for grip and comfort.

Practical items to note

  • رسّی کا کام time: about four hours for a two‑person crew to rig/de‑rig.
  • Trailerability: can be trailered but requires crane for launch.
  • Container shipping: fits within a 40′ container with the mast.
  • Auxiliary power: 6hp outboard stored in a locker under the cockpit sole.

Performance summary

In light and chop off St Tropez the 28 showed lively behaviour: upwind speeds around 5.5kts in 5–7kts of breeze and 6–7kts when flying the gennaker on reaches. The boat typically needs ≈12kts to plane off‑wind, so coastal club courses and windward‑leeward regattas suit it best. Compared to the more technical ClubSwan 36, the 28 trades absolute top‑end extremes for an easier, more forgiving platform that invites mixed crews and serious amateur participation.

Pros and cons

  • Pros: Lightweight, trailer‑friendly, simple systems, direct access to ClubSwan racing calendar and events.
  • Cons: Requires crane for launch, price point is high for length, not optimized for offshore or heavy‑air passagemaking.
