VAN DE STADT 48 CASCO

A foam-sandwich laminate. The sandwich consists of core-cell foam, a new ridgid elastic material that helps bringing down the total weight and at the same time is an extremely well insulating material for the warm climate the boat is intended to sail in. She is custom built at Waal Yachtbouw in close cooperation with Hans Korner from Van De Stadt design and Al Horsman, the senior naval architect at ATC chemical corporation, the manufacturers of core-cell. The red line in the cooperation between the three was to built a strong but light boat under ABS regulations. The result is a superb high quality yacht. Keel and rudder have not been built yet.
