Performance 40 vs 38 Hi! Looking at tall rig versions of the Swan 40 and Swan 38, the measurements are similar, but naturally the hull shapes are different. The polar diagrams indicate that the Swan 40 is the quicker of the two. Can anyone provide information on performance of the 40 vs 38 under sail? Also, if anyone has information on performance of other swans that have different hull shapes, but similar rig measurements, I would eagerly like to know about those.
Cheers, niklas |

Lars, Thank you for your quick and accurate reply. This would be very interesting. Does anyone have IMS certificates for the Swan 40. Also, comparison of the other models with similar values would be very interesting. Cheers, niklas |

Lars, I have IMS rating certificates from 1990, 1992 and 1993 for my S&S Swan 40 Sunniva V (hull #36). If you are interested I can send you a copy. Leif |

40 vs 38. Too many variables to make a statement. Lars was absolutely right as always. They are very close. It depends on |

Thank you for all the replies. I am aware that there are variables not linked to the hull, that are affecting boat speed. However, I would like to eliminate those from the current discussion.

Leif Hi, During winter months it would be nice to do some research. As the owner of Swan 40, Becca, I am very interested in a polar diagram and IMS certificate. Read that you Leif have some. Would be really nice! all the good from a rainy Netherlands

Dear jollinglodema At the moment there are not any valid Swan 40 certificates on the ORC webpage, it appears they do not race under this handicap.
I found some old certificates, and can send copies provided I get your mailing address.
Pls note that they are of different ages, and detailed comparisons may be misleading.
If you prefer not to disclose your address on the Forum pls ask Matteo to forward it to me.
Kind regards
Lars
