This 1979 Spencer 53 is a sturdy fiberglass cruising yacht built for serious offshore work. The boat carries a Ford Lehman diesel engine paired with a ketch rig, offering both reliable power and flexible sail handling. Substantial fuel and water tankage support extended passages, whether in local waters or on longer voyages.
The interior accommodates four cabins and two heads, providing comfortable cruising space for a family or crew. The layout supports the yacht's cruising mission with practical stowage throughout.
The boat underwent major refitting between 2023 and 2025, with significant investment in systems and structural work. Recent survey work documents the yacht's current condition.
