HIGH-TECH CRUISER
B
eneteau’s series of Swift Trawlers is gaining
popularity as a contradiction: despite the
name, they’re pitched as an excellent
compromise for sailors wanting to shift
into power, or motor yacht owners wanting a more
cost-effective cruising option.
And yet the vessels are aptly named: each of
the four models reaches speeds above 20 knots
and features loads of practical touches in their
spacious, asymmetric hull designs.
Rather than jam the largest possible engines
into the vessels, says Beneteau, each of the trawlers
is designed to work in harmony with its power
plant to deliver maximum performance without
sacrificing comfort and durability.
Available from 36 Degrees Brokers, the Swift
Trawler range from 30ft to 50ft in length.
