Skookum 53 1981

Introducing the Skookum Center Cockpit Pilothouse Ketch, 'Phoenix Rising', a beautifully maintained and upgraded vessel designed by Ed Monk Jr. This exceptional boat is in superb condition and eagerly awaits its next sailing adventure! Crafted in Port Townsend, WA by Skookum Marine and completed by its original owner, 'Phoenix Rising' has had only three owners, with the current owner—an ABYC certified marine technician—cherishing her for the past nine years before downsizing. Significant upgrades enhance this vessel, including a complete cabin house rebuild with new windows, fiberglass work, and portlights, totaling over $135k. The electrical system has been revamped, and a new engine, gearbox, propeller, and shaft have been installed. Additionally, cutting-edge Garmin, B&G, and Raymarine electronics systems have been added, alongside new standing rigging and refinished masts. The cockpit is spacious, fully enclosed, and designed for ease of single-handed sailing, with all lines accessible from the helm. Wide side decks facilitate safe movement, and the fore and aft decks are well-designed, providing ample handholds and lifelines. The sails (Main, Staysail, and Jib) are equipped with Harken furlers for effortless handling. Below deck, the galley features a double stainless sink with hot and cold filtered water, an LPG stove, and plenty of storage. The wheelhouse steering station offers excellent visibility, complemented by navigation systems available in both the wheelhouse and cockpit. The comfortable U-shaped dinette and large salon, complete with an L-shaped settee and work desk, provide a cozy living area. The forward head includes a VacuFlush toilet and sink, while the forward cabin offers two bunks and ample storage. A breezeway leads to the engine room, which is conveniently designed for easy access and service. The aft cabin boasts a queen bed, generous storage, and an en-suite head with a shower stall and partial tub. This vessel is not only a stunning boat but also reflects a legacy of care and maintenance. Clean bilges and storage spaces attest to its excellent upkeep. 'Phoenix Rising' is ready to embark on new adventures with her next owners—schedule a showing today!
