56 Irwin 1984 Boat for Sale

Mojo Boat | 56' Irwin 1984

If you are searching for a liveaboard sailboat, Great Loop cruising yacht, Bahamas cruising sailboat, or a comfortable bluewater-capable center cockpit ketch, this freshwater 1984 Irwin 52 Mk II deserves serious consideration.

Designed by renowned yacht designer Ted Irwin, the Irwin 52 became one of the most successful center cockpit cruising sailboats ever built thanks to her spacious accommodations, exceptional storage capacity, easy sail handling, and comfortable passagemaking characteristics. Her shoal-draft keel allows access to cruising grounds that deeper-draft yachts must avoid, making her an outstanding choice for the Great Loop, the Florida Keys, the Bahamas, the ICW, and coastal cruising throughout North America.

Sagacious has spent her entire life in freshwater on the Great Lakes and offers a rare combination of cruising capability and liveaboard comfort. Her three-cabin layout, private owner's suite, air conditioning, generator, washer/dryer, bow thruster, extensive tankage, and ketch rig provide the amenities and versatility sought by long-distance cruisers and full-time liveaboards alike.

Power is provided by a dependable Perkins 130 HP diesel engine with approximately 1,300 hours. An Onan 9 kW diesel generator with approximately 200 hours supplies onboard power while away from the dock. Sail handling is simplified through roller furling systems, allowing comfortable short-handed operation.

Recent upgrades and included equipment include:

• New stainless-steel lifelines
• New running rigging included
• New Raymarine radar, GPS, and AIS package included with the vessel
• Extensive spare parts inventory
• Complete equipment manuals and maintenance documentation
• Long-term ownership history

The vessel is currently stored ashore in Port Sanilac, Michigan, and professional fiberglass repairs are being completed with detailed documentation and photographs available for review.

Whether your plans include Great Lakes cruising, the Great Loop, Caribbean and Bahamas adventures, or simply enjoying one of the most spacious liveaboard interiors available in a 52-foot sailboat, Sagacious offers tremendous value and capability.

Handcrafted by artisans, the Irwin 52 presents unparalleled luxury with distinctive styling. Designed as a matched system, every part specifically interrelates to provide quality, reliability and durability. The Irwin 52 features over 150 standard equipment items making time spent aboard relaxing and enjoyable. Each 52 features items such as a roller furling headstay, refrigeration, stain resistant upholstery, and ergonomically designed chairs for the breakfast bar and salon. The masthead ketch rig is engineered to powerfully and swiftly drive through the water. To make sail handling a snap there is also an optional furling main sail. The 52 also features advantages such as foam-cored horizontal deck surfaces for stiffness and insulation, plus corrosion resistant, stainless steel deck hardware. The raised quarterdeck and drop-level soles allow plenty of headroom from the V-berth to the aft stateroom. Richly finished in teak, the salon is large and ideal for entertaining. The galley has a tremendous amount of counter space for food preparation and features an LPG gimbaled stove with oven, a refrigerator / freezer, a pantry, and a washer / dryer.
