1989 Concordia Concordia 52

Step aboard and you immediately feel how purpose-built this Concordia 52 is for serious passagemaking. The deep, secure cockpit coamings, wide side decks, and solid grab rails make moving around underway feel calm and controlled. Below, the seaberths and plentiful handholds show real offshore thinking, and the engine room access is unusually generous for a yacht this size—maintenance and inspections are genuinely practical, not an afterthought. Tankage is laid out for real range, not just weekends, and the hull’s classic Sparkman & Stephens lines translate to a soft motion and reassuring tracking in a seaway. This is the kind of boat where you can spread charts on the proper nav station, close the lid on the day, and know the vessel will take care of you on the night watch.

A Concordia 52 shines in these waters because it blends bluewater capability with comfortable liveaboard features that suit long stretches between harbors. The cutter rig and balanced sailplan are ideal for the changeable conditions here, allowing you to keep the boat moving efficiently in light air yet stay controlled when the breeze pipes up. The protected center cockpit and high freeboard keep crew dry and secure when short, steep chop builds. Ample storage and robust systems make provisioning for remote anchorages straightforward, while the roomy interior offers genuine off-watch rest on extended passages. Whether you’re working tidal gates, threading channels, or riding offshore swells, this design delivers confidence and an easy, predictable motion.
