Crowther 52 Just Listed

Unique bluewater aluminum catamaran for sale. Spirit One is a sailing catamaran from the prestigious drawing board of the Crowther naval architecture firm. She was one of the last sailing cats to be designed before the designers switched to being power only.

Built at a commercial shipyard in Brisbane Australia, she has the makings of a work vessel with the comforts of a yacht.

Maintained by the second owner since 2005. He is a highly experienced marine engineer who has kept Spirit One consistently updated both cosmetically and mechanically.

The exterior of the boat features a nearly bulletproof rig, with multiple redundant head stays and side stays. Boat features a raised helm, large aft cockpit seating area and flush sugar scoop extensions for easy boarding and deboarding to and from dinghy. Massive solar arrays guarantee energy independence for extensive off-grid living. Inside you will find ample refrigeration in the saloon, vertical windows to keep out exterior heat, and a spacious U-shaped galley. The fully enclosable owner's suite features a washer/dryer in addition to a separate head. Guest suites connected by a Jack and Jill head, each suite having a queen berth.

For a discerning yachtsman looking for the rare multihull that can go further afield she represents an excellent value.
