My offshore sailing experience comes mainly from this extended Swan 651, 72 feet long. I sailed her when new in the mid eighties and she was considered a big boat then. All sails with hydraulic furling, Rondal for the fore sails and Reckman for the main in-mast furling. No problems to set and reef sails singlehanded.
Longest trip was Grand Canaria-Madeira-The Azores-Hamble-Kiel-Stockholm, a five week experience.
Today the boat is chartering in the Baltic and in the Caribbean. Maybe you have seen her, the name is Sway
