Swan 37 is a GRP constructed, fin keeled, one tonner masthead sloop and successor to the Swan 36. It was designed by Sparkman & Stephens and manufactured by Nautor Oy between 1970 and 1974 with total of 59 boats being built.[1][2] Measured by racing success, Swan 37 is one of the most successful Swan yachts ever built and it's famous for winning the Round Gotland Race on six different occasions on four decades by a yacht called Tarantella II.[3] At least two Swan 37 boats Duclinea and Trishna are known to have circumnavigated the world.[4][5] In the US market Swan 37 was also marketed as Palmer Johnson 37.[6][7]
