Meander Boat | 52' Irwin 1987

TIMELESS CRUISER IN GREAT CONDITION

[Additional Photos Coming Soon!]

If first impressions are impactful, you will likely find that your first impression of Meander will be that of a striking, capable blue water cruiser with attractive lines and the silhouette of a classic yacht.

The Ted Irwin designed 52 Ketch was one of the early deck saloon cruisers, setting a trend that remains popular today. With over 250 hulls launched between 1976 and 1987, this solid cruiser remains popular with couples, families, and liveaboards.

The Irwin 52 was considered a trend-setting yacht when they were introduced. Ted Irwin was one of the first to introduce a deck-saloon cruiser, and the 52 may remain one of the most popular 50-foot-plus production boats ever.

The beamy ketch-rigged 52 offers motor yacht-like interior accommodations, with a spacious cockpit, wide bulwarks and wide side decks for safety, and is capable of good performance under sail or power.

Meander offers a comfortable three cabin layout with a very roomy main salon, comfortable master stateroom aft with island queen and two staterooms forward. Plenty of space for family and guests, with 6’6” headroom throughout.

Interior Accomodations And Layout

Five easy companionway steps from the cockpit you’ll find the Main Salon and three stateroom layout featuring two forward cabins and spacious master cabin aft. I’m often reluctant to use the word cavernous in describing a sailboat salon, but the Irwin 52 earns the title. The interior, with teak and holly flooring, is both welcoming and attractive. The comfortable living quarters of the salon feature an L-shaped settee to starboard, followed by the breakfast bar offering convenient access to the U-shaped galley. To port you’ll find the L-shaped convertible dinette and a proper navigation station with a top opening chart table, built in electronics and stereo system. The salon offers plenty of storage throughout including a pantry, lockers, storage under settees, shelves and counter space.

Starboard of the companionway you’ll find the galley area and breakfast bar. The U-shaped galley is one step down and features a large double stainless-steel sink, ample refrigerator and freezer capacity for extended voyages, lots of storage and cabinet space with plenty of counter prep area.

To the port of the companionway a passageway leads to the large master stateroom featuring a comfortable centerline queen berth, an L-shaped dressing settee with aft-bulkhead mirror and overhead spotlights. The master stateroom also provides abundant natural light, with plenty of storage in drawers, two hanging closets, lockers, and shelves. The ensuite head includes a vanity with a sink and manual head.
