The galley is aft to port and there is a starboard side navigation station and starboard quarter berth cabin with double berth. Auxiliary power is provided by a 28 hp Volvo diesel engine installed in a rather cramped engine box below the companionway. This is a good engine with well-established service worldwide and plenty of power for this size boat. Quick access is not particularly good for routine maintenance and inspection but the engine box joiner work is quite easily removed if it becomes necessary for more serious maintenance or repairs. The Swan 36 was delivered with a fully battened mainsail and roller furling genoa as standard equipment although most have added sails to this inventory.
Nothing helps sailing ability quite as much as the advantage of a well designed deep draft keel.
Only 55 Swan 36s were built between 1988 and 1996 when the model was discontinued and used models are popular and scarce. I was able to find only one currently offered for sale on the East Coast. And, as this was the first year of production, this likely represents the lower end of the price range. I want a Swan 60. But, I could be very comfortable in a Swan 36.
