1989 Jefferson 52 Victory Yacht

Overview

The 1989 Jefferson 52 Victory is a rare and sought-after model, based on the popular Marquessa 52 but enhanced with an extended cockpit, lazarette, and direct aft stateroom access from the cockpit — a huge upgrade in functionality for serious cruisers and liveaboards.

Jefferson Yachts were known for their high-end production quality, built in Taiwan under American supervision, delivering exceptional craftsmanship, polished teak interiors, and robust construction. “Qui-Si-Sana” exemplifies this heritage and stands out with numerous modern upgrades and systems, making her a standout in the class.

Surveyor’s Notes from 2021 survey:

“Qui-Si-Sana was viewed throughout as a high-quality build – from polished teak woodwork to interior accommodations. Many upgrades to current equipment have been completed. Upper-end electronics include a FLIR night vision camera, and a professional installation of a Mastervolt lithium-ion battery system, including multiple Mastervolt chargers and inverters.”
