This William Garden-designed Porpoise 52 ketch is a classic blue-water cruiser built by Duncan Marine, with a 2" fiberglass hull that provides strength, comfort, and the freedom to roam.

With an overall length of 52 feet, a beam around 14', a 6' draft, and heavy-displacement construction around 50,000 lbs, this vessel was designed for confident offshore cruising and steady handling in a variety of conditions.

Powered by an 80 hp Ford Lehman diesel, the boat is well suited for dependable passagemaking, while the full-keel design and masthead ketch rig offer the kind of secure, traditional sailing experience that inspires long weekends, coastal escapes, and extended time aboard.

Recent upgrades include a new fiberglass deck replacing the teak deck, new H2O sails for the main, mizzen, and headsail, a 1000w solar system with charge controllers, inverters, and 12v AGM batteries.

Additional cruising features include four anchors, a Raymarine radar, kitchen appliances including a gas stove, microwave, and induction stove, and a 50" Sony Bravia TV installed in 2023.

This Porpoise 52 offers the ideal blend of classic craftsmanship, modern equipment, and self-sufficient living for the sailor looking to enjoy life on the water in a truly capable yacht.
