Description
A true cruising blue water ketch that is ready to take you wherever you want. We have just returned from 12 months of cruising down the East coast and around the Bahamas.
We have lived on her full time in New York City and Long Island since 2014 and have cruised her extensively along the East coast, the Bahamas, and Canada. We have spent the last few years refurbishing and preparing her for longer term cruising. Her previous owners had her for over 30 years in the Great Lakes. As far as we know she has never been chartered.
We have just returned from the Bahamas and she is all ready to continue cruising or to become your home. She is well suited to remote working. She is waiting to start a new adventure with you.
We will consider all reasonable offers.
She is the short mast, solid keel version of the 52 so she can traverse the ICW albeit with a tight fit in some spots. The engine and transmission were rebuilt in 2024 and are as good as new. The standing rigging was replaced in 2025.
All systems are operational and ready to go!
Is now the time to follow your dreams?
