Van de stadt 48 at De Valk Yacht Brokers

This thoroughbred ''Bleu Water'' cruising yacht has been built with Dutch craftsmanship. Especially her interior with her very ''ship-like'' stylingis worthwhile your attention. From the cockpit one feels safe at sea with her ''wrap-around'' cockpit coaming and has great access to her sail handling. Because of her owners plans for the future to do some extensive cruising she has been designed, built and fitted out for that purpose.

A rare opportunity to acquire a fully customized Van de Stadt 48 model Tasman hull. She was built complete with integrated tanks and with the use of moulds to avoid the need to make changes to the hull or deck along the way. It is a raised decksaloon with an interior on several levels. Once ready it will be a pleasure to live on board, something seriously underestimated on long distance passages. Due to the different levels a minimum headroom is always available.

This outstanding Van de Stadt 48 is exceptional for her quality in finishing and detail. An interior that one could compare with the best of "Dutch" yacht building. Allthough a powerful rig is mounted, a small crew can handle the sails, reefing and setting through the use of electric winches. Her fractional rig makes her easier to sail than traditional sloop-rigged yachts. The smaller forward sailarea is much more effective.
