Overview

 PRICE REDUCED! SELLER WANTS OUT! EXCELLENT CONDITION! A MILLION DOLLAR REFIT- COMPLETED MID 2016. AN INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY TO ACQUIRE A WORLD RENOWN IRWIN YACHT FOR A FRACTION OF ITS REPLACEMENT COSTS - AS SHOWN IN A RECENT AVAILABLE SURVEY!

The previous Owner spared nothing in the refurbishing of this 1977 Irwin 56 - (same design as the 52 but with a stretched cockpit). Everything on the "ZORA" has been replaced or refurbished and is in good working order.  

A bowsprit was added to bring the overall length of the vessel to 61 feet. COMPLETE REFIT COMPLETED in Mid 2016. 

The present Owner of 8 Months purchased "ZORA" with the intention of cruising the Caribbean & maybe beyond, for a few years. A change of plans has made this magnificent Vessel available for the next lucky Sailor.

A Diesel fueled Auxiliary Cutter Rigged Ketch with a Traditional Keel and Spade Rudder.
