The Swan 53, sometimes called the Swan 53 Mk I, is a Finnish sailboat that was designed by Germán Frers as a cruiser-racer and first built in 1987.[1][2][3][4][5][6]

The design was later replaced in production by a new Frers design, the Swan 52-2 or Mk II in 2004.[1][2][3]

The design was built by Oy Nautor AB in Finland, from 1987 to 1995 with 50 boats completed, but it is now out of production.[1][2][3][7][8]
