About
Franchini 53L
Year and Location
Year: 1996
Location: Torrevieja, Spain
Overview
The Franchini 53L is a beautifully proportioned Italian sailing yacht combining classic styling with a practical centre-cockpit and raised-pilothouse layout. This particular example has benefited from an extensive programme of modernisation during 2025 and 2026, bringing her electrical, navigation and onboard systems up to a modern cruising standard while retaining the character and quality of her original design.
Specifications
Length: Approximately 16.20 metres
Beam: 4.78 metres
Freshwater Capacity: Approximately 900 litres
Fuel Capacity: 600 litres across five stainless-steel tanks
Generator: 8 kW Kohler
Accommodation
Her layout provides three comfortable double cabins plus a separate single skipper's cabin, with accommodation for up to eight people and two bathrooms, both equipped with electric marine toilets. She is particularly well suited to owners looking for a comfortable, autonomous cruising yacht capable of extended periods away from the marina.
Sailing Systems
Her sailing systems have also been configured with ease of handling in mind. The mainsail and genoa are both fitted with Bamar electrically operated furling systems, while the staysail is manually furling. A Selden six-metre spinnaker/whisker pole is carried for additional sail options, and four Harken electric winches make sail handling considerably easier, particularly when short-handed.
Engine
Power is provided by a Volvo Penta TAMD-41H 150 hp turbo-diesel, offering ample power for manoeuvring and passage-making. Combined with her substantial tankage and generator, the overall package makes the Franchini 53L a very capable platform for Mediterranean cruising and longer-distance sailing.
Modernisation
The extensive modernisation carried out in 2025–2026 is one of the yacht's major attractions, making her an interesting proposition for a buyer who wants the character and proven design of a classic Italian sailing yacht without starting with a long list of upgrades.
Additional Information
She is currently located in Torrevieja, Spain, and her marina berth is paid until June 2027, providing an additional advantage for a new owner wishing to keep the yacht locally based.
Conclusion
A distinctive and capable cruising yacht, this Franchini 53L offers a rare combination of classic Italian styling, generous accommodation, substantial autonomy and modernised onboard systems. Viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the scale of the recent investment and the condition of this Franchini 53L.
