1976 Skookum marine Skookum 53

Bucanero was a private order, owner version of the great Skookum 53 designed by Edwin Monk as a professional fishing and/or open ocean cruiser, built to be autonomous for long periods, for fishing around Alaska or cruising around the world. Professionally built by the famous Skookum marine boatyard, the Skookun 53 is built strong and very spacious. Each version of the Skookun 53 has its own custom deck, interior and rigging design, only 12 were build as pleasure boats, the others were made as commercial fishing vessels. Bucanero is the only one rigged as a Schooner and can be sailed solo or crewed. Very confortable, sea worthy, with lots of sail surface and sails options available she has a huge living and storage space. The Skookum 53 is 16 meters on deck with the volume of a big 18 meters sailboat. Bucanero is good for you if you look for a big sailing boat with a big surface of sails and a good engine, for confortable, safe and serious sailing. She may fit as well for around the world cruising, cold or tropical oceans (a fuel heater can be negotiated) as sea expedition vessel, chartering or confortable live aboard. Designed as a working ship and said to be a bulletproof hull, her limit is your will and dreams.

Just crossed the Pacific from Panama to the Philippines through French Polynesia without issues.
