Production continued until 1971, with a total of 90 Swan 36 boats being built.
The 36 was designed by Sparkman & Stephens who were the number one designers in the world at the time and also the designers of the first 775 Swan yachts built by Nautor.
The design is sometimes confused with the 1988 Swan 36 designed by Germán Frers, which is now usually referred to as the Swan 36-2 to differentiate it from the unrelated 1967 Sparkman & Stephens Swan 36 design.
