Construction

Irwin 54 cutter yacht built in 1990 by Irwin Yacht & Marine Corp to designs by Ted Irwin.
The Irwin is known for being easy to sail with a small crew, with more space above and below deck than you'll find on most yachts of this size. Caribbean charter companies have been using Irwin yachts for 30 years for their simplicity, space and easy-to-maintain fibreglass decks.
Her shallow draught of 1.7m allows access to almost any anchorage. She offers incredible comfort, and manoeuvres can be carried out with a reduced crew in all conditions. All the lines are led back to the cockpit and she has 2 electric winches.
Her owner is selling her for a new adventure: exploring the canals of Europe and getting closer to his family and grandchildren.
