Lady Rebel

1983 Irwin 52 Centre Cockpit Ketch

$250,000

Rio Dulce, Guatemala

The Irwin 52 was quoted by the factory as “the ultimate world cruiser” and it was Ted Irwin’s original vision for a deck salon style boat. This beamy ketch rig cruiser has comfortable motoryacht style interior accommodations, yet still has excellent performance under sail. She has a relaxing enclosable spacious cockpit, wide side decks for easy access to the foredeck and raised bulwarks to keep the water off the deck.  The stanchions are tall. Handrails on the trunkhouse are the perfect height to be useful. The aft deck features a huge lazerette.

 

The Irwin 52 cockpit transformed centre-cockpit design. Unlike most centre cockpits of the time, it was large, comfortable and not just squeezed into the space above the engine room or distorted to allow for headroom in the pass-through to the aft cabin. You can sleep comfortably on either side and visibility is terrific.

 

The 52 sports a generous rig with more than 1,350 square feet of working sailing area. The underbody is refined with a cutaway long keel and a partially balanced rudder. The 52 moves under sail. Indeed, with its long 44-foot waterline it reaches along at 8 knots steadily.

 

She has three cabins each with a private head. The master stateroom has a centerline queen berth aft and a separate shower/tub in the head. Irwin 52’s are one of the most popular 50 plus foot boats built for cruising with over 250 hulls built. This boat is loaded with an incredible amount of cruising gear and ready to make your dreams come true. Be sure to click on Full Specifications to see all she has to offer.

 

“Lady Rebel” is a good example of an Irwin 52 of her age and has been well maintained and cared for by a knowledgeable owner. She offers many cruising and live aboard features found only on much larger vessels and has a spacious, comfortable interior in good condition. She is in sail away condition and would only need to take on food, drink, and personal items to be on your way.

 

Currently located in one of the best places on earth to begin your cruise, Rio Dulce is a beautiful freshwater resort area with large lakes, numerous anchorages and marinas, and nearby cruises to Belize and the Bay Islands of Honduras as well as passages to Provedencia, San Andres,  Panama and beyond or North to Jamaica, Mexico and the USA.
