Skipper Fifty-Three – Classic Sailing Yacht with History and Character
For sale is a unique ocean-going sailing yacht, passed down from the original owner, which has accompanied our family on countless adventures since 1992. Now, at 92 years old, it is time for the owner to pass the baton. The Skipper Fifty-Three, built by Domor A.C.K., is a yacht of timeless quality, rarely found in this form today.
