WELCOME TO LITHA
Litha is a robust, safe, sound and comfortable 1988 Irwin 54 Center Cockpit ketch cruiser awaiting your updates for her next around-the-world family adventure, coastal cruising or liveaboard life. She sports substantial, high value updates and improvements since 2018 (standing rigging, new battery/solar, new mainsail, solid electrical system, new chainplates and more) and her living accommodations and conveniences are extensive and comfortable.
Litha needs a new cockpit enclosure, mizzen and genoa sails, rub-rail repair and some other cosmetic attention. However, Litha is structurally solid and can start cruising quickly as you tend to her cosmetics over time. A handy/skilled owner can address many of Litha’s needs independently.
Bottom line: for a very reasonable price, you can get on the water with Litha, with a manageable priority plan for her improvements and updates.
As Litha's current owner family will tell you, she is the ideal vessel for exploring, learning and sailing on one of the sailing world's fine cruising vessels. They sailed her down the west coast from Seattle and through Central America with their two kids, in a life-changing family experience. You can now take Litha’s helm and embark on your own Irwin 54 adventure!
