Come By Chance is an Australian Registered cruising yacht well suited to offshore passages with a very comfortable ride. Her long keel and weight avoid that jerky slamming motion. Built in 1974 to a very heavy layup; she is still in good condition and just needs a little cosmetic tidy up. Sailed by R W Barry-Cotter in the 1974 Sydney to Hobart. Typical of this Swanson design, she does not need vast amounts of sail area to get the best out of her.
