Brokers Comments:
This Spencer 53 Ketch was originally custom-built for a Boeing engineer who knew what he wanted in a long range cruiser. She was designed to be operated under power from an inside protected helm station and to sail well from a traditional center cockpit.

Though built in 1978 she has been upgraded including;

•2009 Schattauer Furling Booms
•2009 North Sails
•2009 Stainless Standing Rigging
•upgrades to mechanical and electrical systems including new port lights.

Lightly used in recent years, and ready for a new adventure.
