Swan 55CC Frers
The Swan 55CC Frers, also called the Swan 55-2, is a Finnish sailboat that was designed by Germán Frers as a cruiser and first built in 1990.
The design was originally marketed by the manufacturer as the Swan 55, but is now usually referred to as the Swan 53CC Frers after its centre cockpit configuration, or the Swan 55-2, to differentiate it from the unrelated 1970 Swan 55 and 2021 Swan 55 Frers designs.
The Swan 55CC Frers was developed into the Swan 57CC Frers, with the addition of a reverse transom.
