Design
File:Swan 42 Designed by Ron Holland.jpg]]
The boat was based on the 1979 Admiral's Cup design, Regardless, the only boat to win two races in that regatta. It uses a deck and interior derived from the Swan 441 and Swan 44.{{cite web|url= https://books.google.com/books?id=4_Z9BWIYwYQC&pg=PA41|title= Nautor News|access-date= 21 April 2023|author= Nautor|author-link= Nautor's Swan|work= Yachting|date= May 1980}}
The Swan 42 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of glassfibre, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig, with a keel-stepped mast, two sets of unswept spreaders and aluminium spars with 1X19 stainless steel wire rigging. The hull has a raked stem, a reverse transom, an internally mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a wheel and a fixed fin keel or optional shoal-draft keel. It displaces {{convert|22000|lb|kg|0|abbr=on}} and carries {{convert|9200|lb|kg|0|abbr=on}} of lead ballast.
The boat has a draft of {{convert|7.80|ft|m|abbr=on}} with the standard keel and {{convert|5.92|ft|m|abbr=on}} with the optional shoal draft keel.
The boat is fitted with a British Perkins Engines 4-108 diesel engine of {{convert|40|hp|kW|0|abbr=on}} for docking and manoeuvring. The fuel tank holds {{convert|42|u.s.gal}} and the fresh water tank has a capacity of {{convert|79|u.s.gal}}.
The design has sleeping accommodation for nine people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin, an L-shaped settee and a straight settee in the main cabin along with two pilot berths and an aft cabin with a double berth on the starboard side and a single berth to port. The galley is located on the port 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 double sink. A navigation station is opposite the galley, on the starboard side. The head is located aft of the companionway on the starboard.
For sailing downwind the design may be equipped with a symmetrical spinnaker of {{convert|1647|sqft|m2|abbr=on}}.
The design has a hull speed of {{convert|7.79|kn|km/h|abbr=on}} and a PHRF handicap of 78-87 with the fin keel and 87 with the shoal draft keel.{{cite web|url= https://www.ussailing.org/competition/offshore/phrf/phrf-handicaps/|title= PHRF Handicaps|access-date= 21 April 2023|author= US Sailing|author-link= US Sailing|work= ussailing.org|year= 2023}}
