Swan 53 sold by Yeoman Yachts:

VRIJHEID

VRIJHEID, the Dutch translation is Freedom, is a fine example of this Swan 53. She has a lot going for her with teak decks in great shape, air conditioning, generator, upgraded electronics and new sails. The interior and exterior appearance of VRIJHEID is exceptional and well above average for her age. The present owner purchased VRIJHEID in 2014. After a little time on the east coast he then sailed her to the Great Lakes where she remains.
