The Nautor Swan 39 represents a pivotal moment in the history of the Pietarsaari yard, marking the transition from the classic era of Sparkman & Stephens to the high-performance, IOR-influenced era of Ron Holland. Produced between 1978 and 1980, the Swan 39 was a bold departure from the heavier, more traditional cruisers that had defined the brand's early success. With only 33 hulls produced, it remains a rare and sought-after model for sailors who prioritize a tactile, responsive helm and the aggressive lines of late-1970s racing design. According to Nautor Swan Heritage, the model was split into two distinct configurations: 21 "Racing" (R) versions and 12 "Cruising/Racing" (CR) versions, each catering to different priorities within the performance sailing market.
