1979 Spencer Yachts 53

This 1979 Spencer 53 is a fiberglass sailing yacht built for serious cruising. The boat's double-ender hull form and ketch rig deliver capable performance in a range of conditions, with a single 80-horsepower Ford Lehman diesel providing reliable auxiliary power. The design emphasizes generous tankage and robust construction suited to extended voyages.

The interior accommodates two cabins and two heads. With a cruising speed of 8 knots and maximum speed of 11 knots, the yacht balances efficiency with seaworthiness across its 53-foot length and 13.25-foot beam.

A major refit was completed between 2023 and 2025, representing significant investment in the boat's systems and structure. The yacht is in very good condition throughout.
