Summary Analysis of the Design Ratios for the Swan 53 Mk2

eBook: How to Avoid Buying the Wrong Sailboat

1. A Sail Area/Displacement Ratio of 17.2 suggests that the Swan 53 will, in the right conditions, approach her maximum hull speed readily and satisfy the sailing performance expectations of most cruising sailors.

2. A Ballast/Displacement Ratio of 37.3 would usually mean that the Swan 53 would have a tendency to heel uncomfortably in a gust, and need to be reefed early to keep her sailing upright in a moderate breeze.

However, as she has much of her ballast concentrated in a bulb at the foot of her keel, she's likely to be considerably stiffer than her published Ballast/Displacement Ratio might suggest.

3. A Displacement/Length Ratio of 205, tells us the Swan 53 is a light-to-moderate displacement cruiser, which means she'll carry all your cruising gear without it having a dramatic effect on her performance. 

4. Ted Brewer's Comfort Ratio of 39.3 suggests that crew comfort of a Swan 53 in a seaway is similar to what you would associate with the motion of a moderate bluewater cruising boat - a predictable and acceptable motion for most seasoned sailors.

5. The Capsize Screening Formula (CSF) of 1.7 tells us that a Swan 53 would be a safer choice of sailboat for an ocean passage than one with a CSF of more than 2.0. 

Any Questions?

What is the difference between the original Swan 53 and the Swan 53 Mk2 (aka Swan 53.2)?

The original Swan 53 and the Swan 53.2 are two different designs by the same designer, German Frers, and the same builder, Nautor Swan. The original Swan 53 was launched in 1987 and had a production run of 50 hulls until 1995. The Swan 53.2 was launched in 2005 and had a production run of 20 hulls until 2009. The Swan 53.2 is a newer and more modern version of the Swan 53, with some differences in the hull shape, rig, keel, interior and equipment.

Some of the main differences between the original Swan 53 and the Swan 53.2 are:

  • The Swan 53.2 is slightly longer than the original Swan 53, with a length overall of 16.5m (54 ft) versus 16.2m (53 ft);
  • The Swan 53.2 has a plumb stem and a reverse transom, while the original Swan 53 has a raked stem and a conventional transom;
  • The Swan 53.2 has a fin keel with a bulb, while the original Swan 53 has a fin keel without a bulb. The original Swan 53 also has an optional keel/centreboard version that can reduce the draft from 3.1m (10.2 ft) to 2.3m (7.5 ft) or 3.6m (11.8 ft), while the Swan 53.2 does not have this option;
  • The Swan 53.2 has a sleeker and more elegant interior than the original Swan 53, with more wood trim, more natural light and more storage space.

Is the Swan 53.2 still in production and, if not, when did production end and how many of these sailboats were built?

No, the Swan 53.2 is not in production anymore. The last hull was built in 2009. A total of 20 Swan 53.2s were built between 2005 and 2009.

What, if any, alternative versions of the Swan 53.2 were built?

There were no alternative versions of the Swan 53.2, but it was developed into the Swan 54, using the same hull design.

How did the sailing press review the Swan 53.2?

The sailing press generally praised the Swan 53.2 for its quality, elegance, speed and handling. For example, Yachting World magazine described it as "a fast cruiser that offers an excellent balance between performance and comfort". Sail magazine called it "a beautiful boat that sails like a dream".

What do owners of the Swan 53.2 have to say about their boats?

Owners of the Swan 53.2 are usually very happy with their boats and often participate in Swan events and regattas around the world. They appreciate the boat's reliability, durability, safety and versatility. They also enjoy the boat's classic lines, spacious layout and fine craftsmanship. Some owners have shared their experiences and stories on websites such as www.swanowners.com and www.swan53.net.

What is the history of the builders of the Swan 53.2 and is the company still in business?

Nautor Swan is a Finnish company that was founded in 1966 by Pekka Koskenkylä, a visionary naval architect who wanted to create the best sailing yachts in the world. He partnered with Sparkman & Stephens, a famous American design firm, to produce the first Swan models, such as the Swan 36 and the Swan 65. In 1981, Nautor Swan started working with German Frers, an Argentinian designer who brought a new style and performance to the Swan range. The Swan 53.2 was one of the last models designed by Frers for Nautor Swan before he retired from his role as chief designer in 2014. The company is still in business today and continues to produce high-end sailing yachts ranging from 36 to 115 feet.

How many people can sleep on board a Swan 53.2?

The standard layout of the Swan 53.2 has four cabins: a master cabin aft with a double berth and an ensuite head, two guest cabins amidships with upper and lower berths each, and a crew cabin forward with two berths and an ensuite head. There is also a main saloon with a U-shaped settee and a dining table that can be converted into another double berth if needed. Therefore, the Swan 53.2 can sleep up to ten people, although eight would be more comfortable.

What is the Swan 53.2 like to sail?

The Swan 53.2 is a pleasure to sail in any conditions. It is fast, agile and responsive, yet stable, smooth and comfortable. It can handle light winds as well as strong breezes with ease and grace. It can sail close to the wind or reach at high speeds with minimal heel. It can also cope with rough seas and heavy weather with confidence and safety. It is well-balanced and easy to steer, both under sail and under power. It has a powerful engine that can push the boat at up to 9 knots when needed. It has a well-designed cockpit that offers good visibility, protection and ergonomics. It has a spacious deck that allows easy movement and access to all sailing functions.

What is the average cost of a secondhand Swan 53.2?

The average cost of a secondhand Swan 53.2 depends on many factors, such as the year, condition, equipment, location and market demand of the boat. However, based on some online listings, it can be estimated that a secondhand Swan 53.2 ranges from around $600,000 to $900,000 USD.

How does the Swan 53.2 compare to other sailboats in its class?

The Swan 53.2 is one of the most prestigious and respected sailboats in its class. It combines quality, performance, comfort and style in a way that few other boats can match. It is often compared to other high-end cruising yachts from brands such as Hallberg-Rassy, Oyster, Hylas, Moody and Amel. However, each boat has its own strengths and weaknesses, depending on the preferences and needs of the owner. Some may offer more space, more features, more customization or more affordability than the Swan 53.2, but none can surpass its reputation and legacy.

What other sailboats have been created by the designer of the Swan 53.2?

German Frers is one of the most prolific and successful yacht designers in history. He has created hundreds of sailboats for various clients, ranging from small dinghies to large superyachts. He has also designed many other models for Nautor Swan, such as the Swan 36, Swan 46, Swan 48, Swan 56, Swan 60 and Swan 90. Some of his other notable designs include the Wally Yachts, the Hylas Yachts, the Grand Soleil Yachts and the Hallberg-Rassy Yachts.

Swan 53-2 is a 54 ′ 0 ″ / 16.5 m monohull sailboat designed by German Frers and built by Nautor (Swan sailboats) between 2005 and 2009.

Drawing of Swan 53-2

Rig and Sails

Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.

Classic hull speed formula:

Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL

Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.

SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3

  • SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
  • D : Displacement in pounds.

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.

Ballast / Displacement * 100

Displacement / Length Ratio

A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
  • LWL: Waterline length in feet

Comfort Ratio

This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )

  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
  • LOA: Length overall in feet
  • Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet

Capsize Screening Formula

This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

Daggerboard keel with twin rudders: Draft board up: 4.59’/1.40 m Draft board down: 12.14’/3.70 m Ballast: 22400 lbs/10150 kg Not to be confused with an earlier Swan 53 also by Frers.
