VIOLA. One of my favorite boats. I did a lot of the Med season in 1981. I think that's me with blue pants and no shirt behind mast and boom. A fine owner, Luciano Graja. Happy days.
EDITED for owner's name.

The 57 IMHO was much better as a ketch. I rigged the first sloop in Italy in 78, and we had to put 400kg of lead in the bilge under the owner's aft cabin to get her to float on her lines.

Lars Klingström reports on Savoy Truffle, located at Berkeley Marine Center in SF Bay CA. Half-tonner designed by Paul Whiting and built by the Whiting family:

I did a BBS (1978? 79?) on a Swan 57.
Kind of a lot of boat to drag around a race-course (displaced fully twice as much as the newly-arrived Choate/Peterson 48s), but man was it a comfortable boat to live on for the week, for us too-poor-to-get-a-hotel crewdogs.
The only headache was that the owner didn't want any wet gear near the custom leather (!) upholstery in the main salon...

How did the factory fix that for subsequent sloop models after that?

Macobi?

Could be! I've killed a lot of brain cells since then, no way I would have been able to pull that name out from the few that are still working.
Marina del Rey boat, IIRC.

Well there are only three fixes. A. Move the rig aft 5 feet. B. Move the keel aft 4 feet. C. Put lead in the bilge under the owner's cabin floor. Guess.

Harold ? was the owner i think. Docked in front of marina city club towers. Sailed on it once. Bob Linclon was a regular crew. The MdR contingent chartered a swan 57 battlecry for antigua rade week. There is an old video, Spinnakers on the wind, you may notice some people if Macobi was the one you sailed.

this seems definitely the right thread for that antiquity - imagine restoring that boat, and keeping the transverse jib tracks.

Yeah, but a lot of stringers there. Imagine a IRC conversion, can be a really fast boat!
