The Irwin 52 with its generous fuel and water tankage has always been noted for its comfortable cruising characteristics. These wonderful yachts lend themselves perfectly to family cruising, charter operation or in our case, spacious luxurious accommodations for just a cruising couple. With her centerboard down, drawing 13 feet she goes to weather well and with the centerboard up her 5-½ ft. draft allows her to gunkhole in shoal areas normally not accessible to boats of this size.

S/V "JALAPEÑO" 1985 IRWIN KETCH 52' has always been privately owned and never chartered. During the last eight years she has been continually upgraded by a knowledgeable owner and is now offered for sale in the Caribbean in excellent condition. Jalapeño differs from other Irwin 52's in the custom-built fiberglass "hard top" cockpit enclosure, which is cored and vacuum bagged for strength and weight savings.

It appears an integral part of the yacht built by the factory, and not an "add-on". The cockpit can be opened and closed with rollup curtains for complete protection in less than one minute and creates a pilothouse. She has received a new suit of sails (less mizzen) in 2000 and a new 7.6KVA generator with aluminum sound shield in 2003. She is set up for a couple to sail with Harken roller furling on genoa and staysail and jiffy reef with "Dutchman" automatic flaking system on mainsail. She includes all the amenities of a luxurious second home with great sailing or motoring characteristics. She is offered for sale with all tools and extensive spare parts all stored in separate workshop/laundry cabin complete with washer/dryer and convenient trash compactor.
