2011 Clipper Motor Yachts Cordova 52

The Cordovas are semi-displacement boats with powerful Cummins engines that can be cruised at low speeds and with great economy - like the Heritage boats - or, if you need to get somewhere in a hurry, can crank up to around 18 knots for that quick trip home, or to outrun some inclement weather. For our test, we took out the Cordova 52, the mid-sizer in the range. It’s a good-looking boat with classic lines and is presented in an ‘antique’ off-white with teak and stainless-steel accents that give it a very elegant look.
