Highly regarded for their build quality, true Bluewater capability, and impressive sailing performance, the Swanson 36 has certainly stood the test of time. They boast a strong track record for handling rough seas and long voyages with ease, and many have even competed in the most challenging offshore races around the world. This vessel is an exceptional example of the design and has been extensively upgraded in recent years by the current Marine Industry Professional owner. These significant upgrades include NEW 2022 STANDING RIGGING, CHAIN PLATES REMOVED, POLISHED AND REFITTED WITH NEW BOLTS 2024, NEW 2022 INNER FORESTAY WITH FURLER FOR J3, NEW 2018 FURLING GENOA, THE 12V SYSTEM PROFESSIONALLY RE-WIRED AND NEW SWITCHBOARD ADDED IN 2015, NEW 2021 ENGINE START BATTERY, NEW 2022 AIS INSTALLED, 2014 THE DECK WAS FULLY STRIPPED AND RE-FIBERGLASSED INCLUDING OVER THE HULL DECK JOIN FOR ADDED STRENGTH AND NO LEAKS, THE COCKPIT WAS RE-SPRAYED AND NEW TIMBER TRIM ADDED 2023, NEW 2021 DIESEL HEATER INSTALLED, NEW 2022 CUTLASS BEARING, NEW 2023 AIR X WIND GENERATOR, NEW 2014 BUKH ENGINE INSTALLED, the list goes on! The current owner has also cruised the vessel extensively including regular trips to Port Davey on Tasmania's rugged South West, plus a 6 week circumnavigation of Tasmania earlier this year. With its excellent presentation, tried and tested new systems throughout, and the capability to fulfil even the most ambitious sailing aspirations with ease, this Swanson 36 is one not to miss!

Stepping inside, the stunning Huon Pine floors, and clean white finishes create a light and welcoming ambience. The spacious saloon is a great space to relax or entertain, and there is seating for 8 in comfort on the NEW 2015 settees. The galley is to starboard, and was fully rebuilt in 2018 to improve its functionality and add more storage for extended cruising. This is well appointed with an Engel 40L fridge, 3 burner metho stove, and stainless steel sink with fresh and salt water pumps. Opposite the galley, is the traditional chart table which is well set up with modern B&G Chart plotter, and the NEW 2015 switchboard. The accommodation is idea for cruising with family and friends and features a large double v-berth forward, two king single quarter berths aft, and three single settee berths in the saloon when additional accommodation is required. The interior package is complete with a bathroom forward with NEW 2022 Jabsco toilet and vanity.

Outside, the beautifully refinished cockpit is simply superb! Having been repainted in 2024, and a new Celery Top Pine capping added, it is in excellent condition. Deep and safe for serious offshore sailing, the extended cabin top provides protection from the elements in the forward sections, and is a great space to keep watch when underway. In 2014 the entire deck was stripped back and the deck and hull/deck join was all fully re-fiberglassed to create a seamless join to ensure both strength and eliminate any possible water ingress in this area. The vessel is also very well set up for short handed sailing with the furling genoa and J3 headsails, mainsail in the boom bag with lazy jacks, self tailing primary winches, all lines lead aft to the cockpit, and the reliable Coursemaster autopilot. There is easy access forward around the wide side decks, and plenty of room on the bow to relax and take in the views on a sunny day.

This vessel is powered by a fastidiously maintained Bukh 20HP Diesel engine with only 460hrs on the clock! The vessel also has a pre-filter system set up for the diesel tank which was installed in 2024. The vessel provides easy and economical cruising at 6 knots, and is easily accessed beneath the companionway stairs for hassle free servicing.

Offering true safety, comfort, and with all the upgrades done, this really is a vessel not to miss! Whether you want to explore the stunning waters of Southern Tasmania, fulfil your most ambitious sailing aspirations, or even enjoy the liveaboard lifestyle, this vessel can do it all with ease.
