1992 Palmer Johnson Cruising Ketch

This 1992 Palmer Johnson cruising ketch measures 117 feet in length with a 25-foot beam and features a full aluminum hull. Designed by the renowned collaboration of Sparkman & Stephens and John Munford, she embodies the classic sailing yacht proportions of that era—powerful ketch rig, extended overhangs, and a commanding presence suited to extended cruising.

The interior accommodates six cabins and is laid out with the spaciousness characteristic of yachts built to this design. Propulsion comes from a single Caterpillar diesel engine rated at 400 horsepower, providing a cruising speed of 9.5 knots and a maximum speed of 12 knots. This setup balances efficient fuel consumption with capability for extended passages.

The yacht shows the evidence of consistent care throughout her service history, having been cruised extensively across United States waters and the Caribbean under experienced ownership. Her maintenance reflects thoughtful stewardship by knowledgeable captains and owners who understood the demands of long-distance cruising.
