The Lion Class, designed by the legendary New Zealandborn naval architect Arthur Robb, stands as a quintessential example of midcentury oceanracing pedigree transitioned into a beloved cruising classic. While the design gained international fame through the teakplanked hulls of Cheoy Lee in Hong Kong, its Australian identity was forged primarily by the Swanson Brothers. In the 1950s and 60s, Ron, Jim, and Ken Swanson recognized the Lion’s potential for the arduous conditions of the Tasman Sea. The Swansonbuilt Lions, such as the famous Siandra, became icons of Australian yachting history by proving that a refined, narrowbeamed design could dominate offshore races like the Sydney to Hobart while remaining manageable for a small crew.
