Commanding performance - comfortable cruising, the Grand Harbour 52 Pilothouse has it all! Her underbody configuration and specially designed keel indicate performance of the highest order. Stiff in a breeze, responsive to the helm and extremely well balanced, the pilothouse 52 has displacement, length and sail area ratios that provide high speed potential with strong windward performance.
In addition, there is added reserve buoyancy in the transom stern. And for optimal weight distribution, the engine is placed directly above the ship's keel. The cutter rig breaks sail area down into easily handled units, while the deckplan is designed for ease of sail handling and passage-making. The 52 pilothouse even provides a perfect spot for the dinghy between the companionway and the mast.
