Santa Cruz 52 1996

NOW AVAILABLE FOR $329,900 - It's time for MEDUSA to find new owners ready to reach the PODIUM! When 'Fast is Fun' is your design philosophy, you create an impressive passagemaker. The Santa Cruz 52 is synonymous with speed and excitement. Designed by Bill Lee, who has crafted numerous sleek sailboats, he championed the mantra 'Fast is Fun' nearly 30 years after the first SC52 was built in Santa Cruz, California. First impressions matter, and the Santa Cruz 52's slender hull and elegant profile exude the promise of exhilarating sailing. Bill Lee famously described the vessel as a blend of 'a Swan and a rocket ship.' Skip Ely, a Santa Cruz local, has proudly owned and sailed his 1995 Santa Cruz 52, Elyxir, for 25 years. He remarks, 'The hull shape is akin to that of Swan boats, which are about 40,000 pounds, while the 52 weighs just half that. I truly believe there is no other boat that combines racing prowess with cruising comfort quite like this one. Its racing features enhance its cruising capabilities without sacrificing luxury.' MEDUSA boasts impressive podium finishes in notable offshore races: 1st in class at the Swiftsure race, 2nd in class at the Cabo race, and 2nd in class at the Transpac race, where she also set a fast time record for an SC52 (under 8 DAYS!). Crafted with rigging by Scott Easom of Easom Rigging in San Francisco.
