Description:
A deck-saloon cruiser the Irwin 52, with more than 250 hulls launched, may be the most popular big boat, 50-foot-plus, ever built. Featuring roomy interior accommodations, spacious cockpit, wide side decks and raised bulwarks. It boasts of good performance under power as well as sail.

The 52 sports a generous rig with more than 1,350 square feet of working sailing area. The underbody is refined with a cutaway long keel and a partially balanced rudder. The 52 moves under sail. Indeed, with its long 44-foot waterline it reaches along at 8 knots steadily.

The Irwin 52 cockpit transformed center-cockpit design. Unlike most center cockpits of the time, it is large, comfortable and not just squeezed into the space above the engine room or distorted to allow for headroom in the pass-through to the aft cabin. You can sleep comfortably on either side.

The wide side decks and substantial bulwarks are great features of the Irwin 52. The stanchions are tall, handrails on the trunkhouse are the perfect height to be useful. The aft deck features huge lazarettes. Forward, the bowsprit houses double anchor rollers and there is a large chain locker forward. Hawsepipes through the bulwark enclose mooring lines.

ACCOMMODATIONS

Below deck is a drop-down galley to starboard, a large nav station to port, a Dinette that converts to sleep two on port, and a palatial saloon. The aft cabin has an athwartship double and private head and shower with Tub. Forward, there is a large V-berth, a quarter cabin with upper and under berths and a second large head with NEW Electric Toilet (2025).

Features like a stand-up fridge and freezer, ample counter space in the galley, air conditioning, generator, hanging lockers that are sized like closets, and a full shower and Tub with enough tankage to make long, hot showers possible make for very comfortable accommodations.

The engine is located beneath the saloon cabin sole, and access is terrific. This position also makes repowering an easier proposition.
