Canadian Yachting October 2016 - 74
On our single cabin test boat, the cabin is in the bow, has
good storage space and is bright and airy.
cushion turning a straight couch into a wraparound dinette.
In addition, if you pull out all three storage drawers, the
couch becomes a full double berth to accommodate guests.
Because trawlers are designed for living aboard, the galley
is up in the salon area and it's very functional with large dual
stainless steel sinks, very good counter space for a yacht of
this size, available microwave, propane stove with potholders
and a large capacity refrigerator. Then, for the North
American market, a second refrigerator is available to go
under the sink area, increasing the capacity for long cruises.
Trash and recycle is stowed under the helm seat and
there is a big cutlery drawer for all your utensils, also
under the helm.
As you head down below, it's hard to believe that you're in
a 30 footer with generous standing headroom, tremendous
light coming in the hull side glazing and from the overhead
hatch in the forward stateroom. The boat we reviewed had
the single cabin layout, which offers really spacious accommodation. The Swift 30 is also available with a second cabin
for families with children.
Continuing with the main cabin, there is a portside
hanging locker and inside that are all the pre-wiring and
connections for satellite television. We noted that there
are a multitude of A/C electrical outlets located throughout the boat.
HEAD
On the starboard side is quite a spacious head, accessed
through a sliding pocket door to save space. There are two
portholes for light and ventilation, a large mirror over quite
a sizable sink and with significant storage in the vanity
cabinets. There could be a shower here but wait!
In the single cabin version, where Beneteau would have
placed the mid-cabin, they had the
space to install a totally separate shower compartment. This has two more
portholes for ventilation and generous
standing height. The faucets and fixtures are quite elegant.
ENGINE ROOM
Next, we went to the engine room. For
access, you slide the dining table out of
the way and a huge salon floor hatch
opens to reveal the optional Volvo D6
370 horse diesel engine. All the main
On the test boat, the flying bridge area
had a complete helm that could be lowered for bridge clearance, and port side
seating with a table makes this a grand
area for leisurely cruising.
