I had spent about 20 min. typing a response to questions that were posed - hit submit and
lost it all....a programming problem. My main thrust was to list several other owners of the 53'. There were 30 built in the 82-82 time frame. Most were with boards but don't know the breakdown. The following boats have been around a long time with the same owners: Seawitch, John and Susan, 508.631.6535-a
charter boat that works in
Caribbean in
winter and
Martha's Vineyard in the summer. Skipping Stone, Andrew & Nikke, cruisers who rarely turn on their
engine,, 305.731.3065,
capta@skippingstonesailing.com. Isla, Wayne & Linda Corcorran. Cell 772.538.7928;
email lcorky@aol.com Have extensively modified the
interior and been aboart 12+ years-sail the boat a lot. There is another 53' in
Coral Bay St. John but have not met owners. Only other 53' I have seen was in
Maryland and the boat was being rehabbed and had a long way to go.
Someone wrote about the 53' "Built like a tank and
sails like a stallion".
There is no owners association but it would be a good idea to start one.
