The Swan 48 (Frers), often designated as the 482 to distinguish it from the 1970s Sparkman & Stephens predecessor, represents a pivotal era for Nautor Swan. Launched in 1995 and remaining in production until 2003, this Germán Frers design was tasked with blending the aggressive performance of a racing hull with the luxury and shorthanded capability required for bluewater cruising. With 57 hulls produced, it remains one of the most soughtafter models on the preowned market due to its iconic "wedge" coachroof and balanced proportions. Unlike the older, narrower S&S designs, the Frers 48 introduced more beam carried aft and a modern underwater profile, providing a significant boost in interior volume and offwind stability.
