The 51' Antigua may be an unfamiliar name to many, but when you look at it you may see something familiar. The Antigua is based on the legendary Morgan Out Island hull, well known for it's strength and blue water capabilities. The build is strong and the living space and storage in her is substantial. The deck space is expansive and the cockpit, with a hard full bimini and full enclosure, is big enough to comfortably seat your guests. Her electronics and features are more extensive than most, as you will see in the details of this listing. As a liveaboard or as a world cruiser she will serve you well and get you where you are going in comfort and safety.
The current owners had spared no expense preparing her for long term cruising; unfortunately their plans have changed and now Bronwyn presents an opportunity for the next owners to benefit from their investment.
Bronwyn is seriously for sale and seriously worth your consideration.
Accommodations
Starting forward, there is a guest head with a seperate shower. Both areas have tiled floors. The shower has a seat and porthole for light and ventilation. The head is a Lectrasan; that space has a molded sink and counter to port with mirrored storage behind that entire side as well as other storage spaces throughout.
Next aft is the guest cabin, with a Pullman berth to starboard. Behind along the hull there are large cabinets the length of the berth and open fiddled shelving above that. Beneath the berth there is drawer storage along the companionway and bin storage below it. On the port side of this cabin there is a cedar lined hanging locker on one end of a three foot long settee and a dresser on the other end . The cabin is illuminated and ventilated with four opening portholes and one overhead hatch, one Hella fan and four lights.
Moving aft, you step up and into the saloon. The 7' headroom helps make this already huge area seem even grander. There are two overhead hatches and six large fixed lights in addition to the 12 volt lighting that keeps this area well lit. To starboard there is a large U-shaped dinette. The table has leaves which fold in to make a coffee table size top if desired and makes moving around the table practically efortless. The table lowers to make another queen size berth and has drawer storage underneath it. Behind and below the dinette seating there is a tremendous amount of storage; behind and along the hull are large louvered door lockers. On the port side of the cabin is a 6'8" long settee. Drawer storage is beneath the settee and there is more storage behind it, with more locker storage above it also. On the forward end of the settee is an end table with two drawers.
Aft of the settee on port is the navigation station. Facing aft, there is a comfortable swivel arm chair to help make those long sessions there seem shorter. This area is just packed with almost every electronic gadget imaginable, including Sat TV controls, SSB, Sat phone, cell phone, connections for laptop weatherfax and email, etc., etc....
Continuing aft of the nav station, you take one step down and pass through a door into the engine room, which is described later in this listing.
Moving aft of the dinette on the starboard side is a galley that has more counter space than a lot of homes and over 16 cubic feet of refrigeration. This area was recently rebuilt by Cherubini Yachts and in addition to all of the refrigeration features new Corian countertops, a large double stainless steel sink, microwave oven, a three burner stove and oven and lots and lots of storage. It is L-shaped and extends the length of the corridor aft to the master stateroom. There is a combination washer/dryer in the companionway. With the large amount of counterspace this is a natural spot for it, because it's an ideal space for folding clothes.
Continuing aft you step into the master stateroom. There is a walkaround queen centerline berth with drawer storage below it. On each side along the hull there is a cedar lined hanging locker, fiddled shelf space along the length of each side of the hull and lots of drawer storage underneath the shelves. Across from the foot of the bed is a vanity, with drawers, a molded sink and countertop and a large mirror behind it. The cabin has a Jensen CD player and speakers, a RAM mike and a Raymarine remote autopilot. Lighting and ventilation is provided by two portlights at the head of the bed, three portlights along the port & starboard sides of the cabin, one large overhead hatch,a Hella fan and a number of lights. Off of this cabin is another tiled head with a Vacuflush head, storage lockers, a hatch and port for ventilation and a separate shower.

Hull and Deck
The hull on the Antigua 51 is solid fiberglass FRP construction, full keeled with a cut away forefoot for good tracking and responsiveness when coming about. The rudder is skeg hung and the keel is internally ballasted. The deck is balsa cored with solid backing plates in high load areas. There are boarding gates on port and starboard as well as one on the transom to the swim platform. The stern ladder also has handrails extending from the upper stern rail to the swim platform.

Sails and Rigging

Engine room & Electrical
The engine room is just that- a room. There is a door at the base of the companionway to port. One step down and you are in the engine room, complete with a bench vise, tub storage and good room to get at everything. The hot water heaters and filters, watermaker and batteries are all in here as well. There are tub storage areas for parts and fluids. What a great space! 3 blade 24" Max-Prop (05) Spare 2 blade Max-Prop Electric fuel pump Oil change system Dual Racor fuel filters on engine Racor fuel filter on genset Fireboy fire extinguisher system Bench vise

Electronics
There's not much more I can think of that you can put on a boat as far as electronics. All of the electronics have been installed since 2003. The Icom M802 Ham/SSB is set up to provide weatherfax and email on your laptop. Radar, multiple chart plotters, sat phone, TracVision TV, Email & cell phone booster (up to 60 miles offshore!), MOB locator- heck, even an autopilot remote in bed for Pete's sake! Plenty of power to run it all too.
