Swan 43 Holland (Swan 432)
Description
This is the Ron Holland-designed model (one of three Swan 43 versions), a refined evolution from his earlier IOR-influenced racers into a capable, elegant bluewater cruiser. Only 28 hulls were built, making it relatively rare and highly regarded for its balance of speed, comfort, and seaworthiness—proven in offshore passages and admired for timeless lines.
