70% spike in 40m+ yachts at 2024 Cannes Yachting Festival
BOATPro data indicates a 70 per cent increase in the number of larger yachts (40 metres and above) due to appear at the Cannes Yachting Festival when compared to last year’s figures.
In 2023, there were 10 yachts at the show measuring 40 metres or above, while this year, that figure is already up to 17. The trend appears to be in continuation from last year, where visiting yards and brokers suggested an increasing consumer interest in the larger size segments . However, there have yet to be any confirmed yachts above 50 metres attending this year’s show, where last year had two.
Attending yachts by size segments
24m – 30m: 44
30 – 40m: 37
40 – 50m: 17
Looking at the complete lineup, 98 yachts are due to appear across Vieux Port and Port Canto this year, with several last-minute entries expected to be announced in the coming weeks. This will likely bring 2024’s performance closer in line with 2023, which saw 109 yachts in attendance.
As ever, motor yachts are expected to make up the lion’s share of yachts on display in Cannes with just three confirmed sailing yachts (24 metres and above) in attendance – a significant decline from 12 last year. Still, the yachts on display represent a number of key industry innovations, such as Nautor Swan ’s first hybrid sailing yacht, the 28.3-metre Swan 88 Dreamcatcher , in her global debut. The yacht has been designed for both performance and comfort, featuring "feminine exterior lines" penned by veteran Swan designer German Frers .
According to BOATPro, the average LOA is 5.1 per cent higher this year at 32.9 metres, and the average GT is 15.6 per cent higher at 222GT. The biggest new yacht set to appear at this year’s show is currently the 45-metre Go , the first of Tankoa ’s T450 series. The yacht will be marking her global debut in Cannes after being delivered to her North American owner earlier this year (2024).
This year has also seen a spike in the number of debuting yachts, which has increased from 18 in 2023 to 24 so far in 2024. In addition to Go , some of the biggest include Cantiere delle Marche ’s first Flexplorer 146 yacht, the 44.3-metre Maverick , as well as the second Columbus Atlantique 43 yacht, Frette .
Additional debuts include Ocean King ’s first Doge 400 GT yacht Lori – with BOATPro indicating a second unit in the series already in construction – and Telli , the first hull from Custom Line ’s Navetta 38 series, a reinvention of the brand’s popular Navetta 37 series .
"With two weeks to go until the Festival opens, we can’t wait to see our visitors and exhibitors," said festival director Sylvie Ernoult. "As has been the case every year, the Cannes Yachting Festival gets the season underway by unveiling an extremely eclectic offer. We will be proud to welcome nearly 700 boats including 120 world premiers and 640 exhibitors. Our visitors will be able to see the crème de la crème of the marine industry, with the most famous boat builders and equipment manufacturers, as well as newcomers to the industry, who all come to present their designs."

read more about these Key Performance Indicators...
Summary Analysis of the Design Ratios for the Swan 43
1. A Sail Area/Displacement Ratio of 18.1 suggests that the Swan 43 will, in the right conditions, approach her maximum hull speed readily and satisfy the sailing performance expectations of most cruising sailors.
2. A Ballast/Displacement Ratio of 52.4 means that the Swan 43 will stand up well to her canvas in a blow, helping her to power through the waves.
3. A Displacement/Length Ratio of 297, tells us the Swan 43 is clearly a heavy displacement cruising boat. You can load her down with all your cruising gear and equipment and it will hardly affect her waterline. Not an ideal choice for coastal sailing, but she'll come into her own on an offshore passage in testing conditions.
4. Ted Brewer's Comfort Ratio of 33.7 suggests that crew comfort of a Swan 43 in a seaway is similar to what you would associate with the motion of a moderate bluewater cruising boat - a predictable and acceptable motion for most seasoned sailors.
5. The Capsize Screening Formula (CSF) of 1.7 tells us that a Swan 43 would be a safer choice of sailboat for an ocean passage than one with a CSF of more than 2.0.
The Swan 43 Sailboat: A Classic Cruiser-Racer
The Swan 43 sailboat is a classic design by the renowned naval architects Sparkman & Stephens, who created some of the most successful cruiser-racers of the 20th century. The Swan 43 was first launched in 1967 and was built by Nautor, the Finnish company that is famous for its high-quality and beautiful yachts. The Swan 43 is a boat that can take you across oceans, around buoys or to your favorite anchorage with style and grace. Here are some of the features and characteristics of this remarkable sailing boat.
Overview The Swan 43 is a monohull sloop with a raked stem, a raised counter reverse transom, a skeg-mounted rudder and a fixed, swept fin keel. It has a masthead rig with a single spreader and a large sail area. The hull is made of fiberglass with wood trim and has a distinctive sheer and tumblehome. The boat is 42.78 feet long overall, with a waterline length of 31 feet and a beam of 11.67 feet. It displaces 19,850 pounds and carries 10,400 pounds of lead ballast. The draft is 7.16 feet with the standard keel, but there was also a short mast option with a lower draft of 6.5 feet.
Accommodation The Swan 43 has sleeping accommodation for eight people, with a double V-berth in the bow cabin, two straight settee berths and two pilot berths in the main cabin and an aft cabin with two single berths. The galley is located on the starboard side just forward of the companionway ladder. The galley is L-shaped and is equipped with a three-burner stove, an ice box and a sink. A navigation station is opposite the galley, on the port side. The head is located just aft of the bow cabin on the port side and has a marine toilet, a sink and a shower. The interior is finished in teak and has plenty of storage space and ventilation.
Hull and Deck The hull of the Swan 43 is solid fiberglass with no core material. It is stiff and strong and has no signs of osmosis or structural damage. The deck is also fiberglass with a balsa core and has teak planking on top. The deck hardware is stainless steel and bronze and includes winches, cleats, tracks, blocks and stanchions. The cockpit is spacious and comfortable, with a wheel steering system, an engine control panel, an instrument console and a folding table. The cockpit seats have lockers underneath for storage. The boat has a custom-made double bow roller with a windlass and an anchor chain locker. There is also a stern ladder for easy access to the water.
Mast and Rigging The mast of the Swan 43 is aluminum and is keel-stepped. It has a single spreader and swept-back spreaders for stability. The boom is also aluminum and has in-boom reefing for convenience. The spars are original but have been well maintained and painted. The rigging is stainless steel wire with swaged terminals and turnbuckles. The rigging includes a forestay, a backstay, upper and lower shrouds, intermediate shrouds, running backstays, an inner forestay and a baby stay.
Keel and Rudder The keel of the Swan 43 is a fixed fin keel with a swept-back profile. It is made of lead and is bolted to the hull with stainless steel bolts. The keel has a trim tab that can be adjusted from the cockpit to improve performance upwind or downwind. The rudder of the Swan 43 is skeg-mounted and has a balanced shape. It is made of fiberglass with a stainless steel stock and bearings. The rudder is controlled by a wheel steering system with cables and pulleys.

Swan 43: the restoration of 50-year-old Sparkman & Stephens yacht Runn
- October 10, 2016
Intricately restored at a Swan specialist in northern Finland, the Swan 43 Runn has found a new home with Charles Hill, his wife and four children. Pip Hare describes the sensitive refit of a 1960s classic
Yacht Gunn: 1960s Sparkman & Stephens Swan 43
When a Contessa 32 became a little bit too snug for a holiday with his wife and four children, Charles Hill went in search of a bigger boat for adventurous family cruising. Two years later, Runn , a 1969-built S&S Swan 43, has emerged from a painstaking refit.
The Swan 43 was only the second Olin Stephens design to be produced at the Nautor’s Swan yard, but its overhanging ends, short coachroof, low freeboard, sheer and tumblehome established the classic Swan lines. Runn , hull number 004, was commissioned for Finnish racing legend Michael Berner (a skipper in the 1985-6 Whitbread Round the World Yacht Race) to campaign in the 1969 Admiral’s Cup and subsequent transatlantic race.
A Swan 43 seems an unusual choice for family cruising – accommodation is limited by modern standards. But it ticked all boxes for Charles. A fan of the seakeeping qualities of older designs, he sought a yacht which could be cruised double-handed with his wife and could host comfortable family holidays away from marinas, but which could also be raced competitively in class from time to time.
“It all depends how you measure comfort,” Hill explains. “This boat was built to be comfortable at sea, the berths are the right size and in the right place, and you can walk from cockpit to forepeak being able to hold on all of the way.”
Watch some great (if noisy) footage of a Swan 43 underway.
Built to last
Runn was found in Helsinki, poorly maintained and suffering from a lack of use. Consultation with Lars Ström, manager at Nautor’s Swan design office for over 30 years, and Svenkki Kronqvist, manager of the Yxpila boat yard in Finland, Swan refit experts, revealed her origin and robust build quality.
In September 2014 Runn was transported to the Yxpila boat yard at 63°N to begin a mammoth refit. Hill managed the project, Ström and Kronqvist provided expert advice. Hill admits this was his first boat restoration project, but he was hands on – as well as overseeing the project from Suffolk, he spent one week in five working on site alongside the Finns – and drew on his experience of restoring classic cars.
He says: “With classic cars it is all about the detail – when the original build quality is good then you need to maintain that quality throughout, even on those details that no one will ever see.” This ethos shines throughout the boat; the quality is high even behind the lockers and under the floorboards.
Runn’s hull was structurally sound and free from osmosis. The teak decks and engine had been replaced four years earlier, so structural work was limited to a rebuild of the aft bulkhead – doors were added to create a more private aft cabin, the only adjustment Hill made to the interior layout – and a modification of the bow to take a custom-made double bow roller with a windlass and anchor chain box. This sits in a watertight crash section forward. Any older, rotten cross members were replaced with new aluminium box sections.

Authenticity vs performance
Runn’s logo, a circular cross pictured below on its spinnaker, was created for her original owner, Michael Berner, by influential Finnish designer Timo Sarpeneva.
Next it was necessary to strike a balance between authenticity and performance. Hill says committing to renovate throughout made the project easier to manage – the entire boat has been considered in detail and original features have been kept where possible so long as they are functional and do not impede the sailing performance.
Below decks, the water-damaged interior was replaced to the original design. When parts such as grabrails, louvred door vents and hatch fastenings were no longer available, Hill engineered replacements from scratch in his Suffolk workshop.
This approach had a significant impact on time scales, something he had expected from his classic car work. “When you are working with your hands it takes time,” he says. “You can’t work to the clock.”
Runn ’s sail plan has been modernised to offer greater flexibility for short-handed sailing yet is still in keeping with the original design. A self-tacking jib has been replaced with a 135 per cent overlapping genoa close to the original spec on a roller furler. In addition, a new inner forestay was fitted to accommodate a Number 4 jib for more breezy conditions. The original mast now sports a fully battened main and stack-pack system.
Downwind tactics
For downwind sailing, Runn can fly a large running spinnaker – it has slightly narrower shoulders than the original to reduce rolling – plus an asymmetric in a snuffer. This is flown from a bowsprit engineered to be fitted through the bow roller in minutes – perfect for short-handed sailing.
Runn has a small skeg-hung rudder typical of the era. The Swan 43 was built with a trim tab on the back of its keel. This has been glassed over on many boats, yet Charles chose to keep it on Runn . With careful adjustment of the three wheels at the steering position, the helmsman can balance a powerful sail plan both reaching and beating.
Fact: In 1969, Runn ’s steering failed while halfway across the Atlantic. The boat’s original owner, Finnish race legend Michael Berner, used the boat’s trim tab second quadrant to jury rig a solution
That trim tab exemplifies Hill’s approach. He has been thorough and principled throughout, restoring Runn in line with her original ethos – to be strong, seaworthy and to offer optimum performance. Although the total cost has been equivalent to the purchase of a new production boat, boats like Runn are simply not available on the market today. She is beautiful functionally and aesthetically. Better still, she’ll be sailed and loved for many years to come.
Old and new: the three wheels allow steering with the original trim tab. The outer wheel operates the rudder, the inner wheel the trim tab and the middle wheel allows the trim tab to be locked into position. Yet near the original brass compass binnacle is a removable iPad bracket for easy navigation.
Swan 43 Specifications
LOA: 13.04m (42ft 9in) LWL: 9.45m (31ft 0in) Beam: 3.55m (11ft 7in) Draught: 2.20m (7ft 3in) Disp approx: 9,000kg (19,842lb)
More design features
Hill’s solution to tender storage, constructed by himself. It can be removed easily when in racing mode.
This original brass halyard winch is on trial – Hill is keen to keep this beautifully engineered feature, but only if the wire halyard for the roller-furling jib does not detract from Runn’s sailing performance
A watertight bulkhead separates the forepeak from the anchor locker.
The interior joinery work was entirely replaced. When he couldn’t buy grabrails and louvred teak vents, Hill hand-made replacements in his workshop.
Custom-made cup and tool-holders exemplify how every aspect of Runn’s interior has been engineered for efficiency.
Hill’s philosophy shines through in this foot pump, which is actually a plastic Whale Gusher footpump with a brass cover he engineered
The Perspex decklights had deteriorated over time. Hill managed to replace them with glass and brass versions from Classic Marine in Suffolk.
To allow serious cruising, the bow has been modified to take a custom-build double anchor roller, which doubles up to take a small bowsprit for the asymmetric spinnaker.

Nautor 43 is a 42 ′ 8 ″ / 13 m monohull sailboat designed by Sparkman & Stephens and built by Nautor (Swan sailboats) between 1976 and 1979.
Rig and Sails
Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.
The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.
Classic hull speed formula:
Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL
Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL
Sail Area / Displacement Ratio
A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.
SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3
- SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
- D : Displacement in pounds.
Ballast / Displacement Ratio
A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.
Ballast / Displacement * 100
Displacement / Length Ratio
A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.
D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³
- D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
- LWL: Waterline length in feet
Comfort Ratio
This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.
Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )
- D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
- LOA: Length overall in feet
- Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet
Capsize Screening Formula
This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.
CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)
S&S #2239. Available as sloop or ketch. The later NAUTICAT 43 was based on this same design.
