The Swan 36-2, often referred to as the Swan 36 Frers to distinguish it from its 1960s predecessor, was introduced in 1988 as a modern evolution of the performance-cruiser concept. Designed by Germán Frers, this model marked a significant departure from the heavy-displacement, long-keeled designs of the previous era, instead embracing a more nimble and technologically advanced approach to mid-sized yachting. During its production run through 1991, Nautor’s Swan produced 55 hulls of this model, cementing its reputation as a versatile vessel capable of both competitive club racing and spirited offshore cruising. According to the Nautor Swan Heritage Archive, the design was intended to provide a high level of comfort without sacrificing the "sparkling performance" that had become the brand's trademark under Frers’ architectural leadership.
