Basic Info

Yacht Name: Cavu
Builder: Concordia
Model: Custom 52
Year: 1989
Location: Fort Lauderdale, FL
Designer: Concordia Custom Yachts
Hull Material: Fiberglass
 

Designed by Sparkman & Stephens and built by Concordia Custom Yachts, Cavu is sloop rigged with in-mast furling and optional cutter rig.  The design features a very nice center cockpit allowing for a generous owner's stateroom aft with a Pullman double forward complete with its own head and shower stall.

Being a custom build, the quality of the joinery work, done in teak, is outstanding!

Cavu had a major refit with numerous upgrades to all the systems onboard in 2013-4. These included sails (since replaced in 9/19), solar, windlass, electronics, safety, bottom, refrigeration, air conditioning, soft goods, lighting and so much more. After a year-long refit, the owner headed out to the Bahamas, Turks and Caicos Virgin Islands and down the chain to Grenada. He cruised up and down the chain for five years until health issues forced him to call Mount Hartman Bay, Grenada, home. His health issues worsened and earlier this year he passed away in hospital in Grenada and the boat was brought to Ft Lauderdale to sell.


I have sailed numerous times on Cavu and found her to be terrific under sail and beautiful at anchor.


She is located in the heart of Ft Lauderdale and easy to show.
