Remarks:
Van de stadt have an excellent reputation in Europe for good classic designs with beautiful lines that sail well and are built for serious coastal and offshore cruising in all weathers.
Bought by her late owner as a bare hull in the 1970’s and then painstakingly fitted out in the 1990’s by a highly regarded Norfolk craftsman and boatbuilder, she retains a highly finished and well laid out interior.
The 2024 survey found her to be in “generally good and structurally sound condition with no obvious major damage or defect” although it is acknowledged she would now benefit from some cosmetic attention and a general tidy up.
