Van de Stadt 43 Ketch (1983) - € 69.500,-

This ship was designed with the intention of going on a long sailing trip. What first stands out about this vessel is its low silhouette, slender shape and beautiful smooth working deck with a low superstructure behind the first mast. The far aft cockpit is well equipped. The winch controls are within easy reach. Despite the hefty weight of 15 tonnes, the yacht also performs well. Two masts on which a lot of sail can be hung, a kit rig, making it easy to choose the right sail for any weather.

 

The ship was built on a core and then finished with polyester and fibreglass cloth via the hand lay-up method. The vessel was then levelled. This ensures a maintenance-free ship, with no chance of osmosis. The ship has an s-frame, is quite narrow for its length which makes it a really good windward  ship.

​

 

Plenty of air vents on deck for good ventilation below deck, which is especially pleasant in southern regions. Forward is a third cabin with two double berths. The boat is also comfortably furnished with a spacious galley, a good toilet and plenty of storage space. From aft to forward there is the cockpit, then - below deck - the sea cabin with 3 berths on either side, and further forward the main cabin with shower/toilet, galley and plenty of seating, and then the forward cabin with 4 berths and a spacious sail storage area in front. The ship has large tanks that allow for longer crossings without any problems. The ship is well equipped.
