The Swan 391 represents a pivotal moment in the lineage of Nautor’s Swan, marking the transition from the strict IOR (International Offshore Rule) racing era toward a more balanced, performancecruising philosophy. Launched in 1981 and designed by the esteemed New Zealander Ron Holland, the 391 was the successor to the more racingoriented Swan 39. While the 39 was a dedicated competitive machine, the 391 was engineered to offer a more forgiving motion at sea and a significantly more refined interior without sacrificing the pedigree of a "thoroughbred." Between 1981 and 1987, Nautor produced 70 hulls of this model at their Pietarsaari yard, as documented in the Nautor Swan Heritage Archive. It remains one of the most soughtafter midsized Swans for sailors who value the marriage of Holland’s sharp performance curves with the Finnish builder’s legendary cabinetry.
