1953 Sparkman & Stephens 52

A 1953 Sparkman & Stephens 52 designed by one of the world's most respected naval architecture firms and built by the renowned Abeking & Rasmussen shipyard. The yacht features a double-planked mahogany hull with oak frames, a solid teak deck, and refined interior finishes. She was constructed to the highest standards of the era and carries the lineage of a boat commissioned by Greek shipowner George Coumantaros. With a single Yanmar diesel engine rated at 147 horsepower, she achieves a cruising speed of 8 knots.

The interior provides accommodation with two cabins and one head. The modest layout reflects the design priorities of the period—elegant and functional space for cruising rather than extensive berthing.

Since 1996 under her current stewardship, the yacht has been actively cruised throughout the Mediterranean and has completed several transatlantic crossings. She spent her first dozen years with this owner based in the Netherlands before moving to Mediterranean waters, where she remains well-maintained and regularly sailed. The boat has participated in classic yacht regattas including the Bermuda Classics, Puig Vela Clàssica in Barcelona, and the Spetses Classic Regatta.
