How GALADRIEL compares with a typical Swan 53
Her main 2026 measurements against the middle of the fleet: one boat per sail number, the latest full-crew configuration with spinnaker, Swan 53s measured since 2025.
Above the line she is quicker than a typical Swan 53; below, slower. Move the wind: plenty of boats sit on one side in the light and the other when it blows.
Full width is 0.4 kn either way.
At 10 knots she gives away time to a typical Swan 53 on the broad reach.
