S/v Tantalus is a 1978 52’ Irwin stay-sail ketch, designed and built by Ted Irwin of Irwin Yachts USA. There were 250 of these various models built. This particular model is the State model and was built specifically for the Caribbean charter boat trade. Irwin built their yachts with fiberglass construction, with no balsa cored decks. This vessel has a draft of 5’10” since the original centerboard was professionally taken out.
S/v Tantalus has been extensively making offshore passages. The current owners bought her in 2003 and sailed her from Houston, TX, all over the Caribbean for years to make the Rio Dulce her final destination. Over the years, there have been many important upgrades made:
The original wooden hatches have been replaced with aluminum Lewmar hatches.
This 52’ Irwin is not only a proven seaworthy vessel but also makes a comfortable live-aboard. She has 4 sleeping cabins and 2 heads. With 7ft headroom throughout and a 16ft beam, she provides plenty of space for everyone!
S/v Tantalus is powered by a rebuilt Perkins 4236 engine in good running condition, and a fiberglass water trap was installed in the exhaust. All sails are in good condition; the main and mizzen are fully battened, and the head-sail is 110%. The stay-sail is a hank on, and there is a storm sail and a small spare sail.
This vessel is being sold with many spare parts, including thousands of dollars worth of new ports supplied by New Found Metals in the USA for a new owner to install. For many years, s/v Tantalus has been taken on many exciting adventures while providing her owners a safe, solid performance at sea.
With some TLC and labor, s/v Tantalus will be ready to sail away. She will make someone an excellent cruising vessel!
