2013 Swan 53

TThe Swan 53 has performance cruising at her core, providing the perfect solution for owners looking for a Swan that truly reflects Nautor’s unique brand of quality, style and seaworthiness. Equally at home on the high seas covering long distances, or island cruising in shallow waters, the Swan 53 performs beautifully whatever the occasion.

The Swan 53 reflects Nautor’s Swan’s ongoing commitment to designing yachts that combine excellent cruising and racing capabilities, and boasts a number of innovations that make it really stand out. The model is available with two different keel and rudder configurations, each suited to a slightly different form of usage. The standard model features a 2.44 meters deep fin keel and a single rudder.

The daggerboard version, which has twin rudders, enables the keel to be raised to just 1.4 meters opening up access to a wealth of shallow cruising waters that would normally be out of bounds to a yacht of this size.
