With more than 600 launched, the Hatteras 53 is one of the most successful yacht designs ever built; PowerBoat Guide sums it up nicely by saying, “Some designs succeed so well in the marketplace that they earn the distinction of being industry classics. Such is the Jack Hargrave-designed Hatteras 53. Launched in 1969, she quickly became the standard by which other motoryachts were measured; two decades in production, she’s still a popular yacht whose comfortable ride and generous accommodations have seldom been equalled”. And just this month (December 2007) both Motor Boating and Yachting magazines included the Hattie 53 on their lists of the 12 best designs of all time; they note respectively that the “spacious and comfortable Hatteras 53 is a true classic with ageless lines and a seaworthy hull” and “Jack Hargrave is at his best on the Hatteras 53”. This particular example shows very nicely–owned for a long time by a former commodore of the St. Francis Yacht Club and constantly upgraded over the years (most recently an updated galley and custom installed hideaway flat screen TV), she shows much newer than her actual age. This is important, as all of these classic Hargrave-designed Hatties are 20-something years old now and many are in serious need of refit. She’s also well equipped and lying in a downtown Sausalito slip that’s potentially transferable; note that it’s become almost impossible to find a slip of this size in Sausalito so this is a material benefit if you’re able to take advantage. A partial list of equipment and upgrades includes a fully enclosed flybridge, a complete interior refit including heads and galley, upgraded electronics, all machinery just serviced, etc, etc, etc. Also note that Irrational is the Extended Deckhouse model, which offers a beam-to-beam salon. Combined with the fully enclosed flybridge this vessel is amazingly spacious for a 53′. In addition, she’s stabilized–this is an EXPENSIVE option (it would cost upwards of $75,000 to add stabilizers to a vessel not so equipped) and make a world of difference in ride comfort. Note underway shot is a Hatteras brochure photo, all other photos are of actual vessel for sale. Price just reduced again, owner motivated and offers encouraged.
