The Antigua 53 represents a fascinating chapter in the evolution of American bluewater cruising design, emerging from the transition between the legendary Caribbean Sailing Yachts (CSY) and the briefly lived Antigua Yachts in the early 1980s. When CSY ceased operations, John and James Coats acquired the tooling and molds, seeking to refine existing platforms for the private owner market rather than the charter trade. While the Antigua 44 was built from the CSY 44 molds, the Antigua 53 was largely based on the iconic Morgan Out Island 51 hull, a Charles Morgan design that revolutionized the concept of interior volume in a cruising auxiliary. The Antigua 53 was marketed as a more refined, higherend version of the "big Morgan," featuring upgraded joinery and equipment intended to appeal to the serious longrange cruiser.
