ClubSwan 28 is an entry into the ClubSwan one design racing world as it is specifically developed for passionate sailors who enjoy close racing together with a dose of high performance in a boat that is simple to use. Therefore, it is designed to be smart, fun and fast yet not overly technical to allow for an easier entry into the world of racing.
Designed by Juan K, she will sail with a crew of four. The ClubSwan 28 has been conceived to be as simple as possible, still maintaining a high level of performance in every condition. Both hull and deck will be built using specifically reinforced fiberglass, with carbon mast and no backstay. The deck layout design provides a clean and safe cockpit, allowing to race leg-in, sitting inboard, and all the ergonomic studies have been done around this feature. ClubSwan 28 will have a full kite retrieve system with a sliding hatch on the bow. Thanks to the lifting keel and dimensions, the boat is easily trailable and can be rigged and unrigged in only a few hours. It is the biggest possible sailing boat trailable without excessive complications nor needing a specific permit. The sail plan is powerful, the sail wardrobe includes a mainsail, a jib, an AP kite and a reaching kite. The concept of the rig is all about simplicity, based on one single movement of the rig up and down through a dedicated and simple hydraulic system, the mast bend and headstay tension is achieved simultaneously without the need of a backstay thanks to the configuration of the shrouds.
