Aluminium sailboats

Aluminum offers an excellent safety / longevity / price / performance ratio. These qualities make it the favorite material of many long trips sailors. The boat holding the world record for the single-handed world tour “the wrong way”, (against the prevailing winds and currents) is an aluminum monohull which finished in 2004 the itinerary Ouessant / Antarctic / Ouessant in 122 days 14 hours 3 minutes and 49 seconds skipped by Jean-Luc Van den Heede. A reference!

You will find here our selection of aluminum sailboats.

By having the ability to beach your boat, inspecting and servicing your yacht becomes less daunting than having to haul out.

Centerboard advantages, navigate shallow water.

From the turquoise waters of the Bahamas to the Alaskan ice fields, a lifting keel gives you the peace of mind to navigate in shallow water. 

The centerboard doesn’t sacrifice performance or safety, in fact, it can enhance performance when it comes to downwind sailing. 

Another advantage of a centerboard is the expanded possibilities to find docking in marinas that would otherwise be too shallow for a fixed keel sailboat.

Without the limitations of fixed keel boats, your cruising opportunities can take you through the maze of Europe’s ancient canals and the historic North American waterways.

The centerboard can be lifted manually or by using a hydraulic system.

Broker's comments.

In 1991 the current (and only!) owner provided the perimeters to the well known design office "Van de Stadt Design". These were as clear as ambitious, a strong, fast, close to the wind sailing yacht with variable draft and plenty of deckspace, especially in the cockpit area. "Cees van Tongeren" from the design office Van de Stadt design, did indeed a wonderful job, being responsible for the drawings of the "HEIDENSKIP" 65 ft. As the shipyard ALUBOOT from the small town of Hindeloopen in Holland had been the owners favorite builder for many years the contract was given to this yard which is also known for building immensely strong and fast lifeboats. Now after many satisfying miles of sailing, the experienced owner decided to build a larger boat in the same concept and to sell his captain maintained and continiuously upgraded and well cared for "HEIDENSKIP" 65 ft lifting keel aluminium performance sailingyacht. This is your chance to purchase an easy handling and safe "go anywhere globetrotter" well below the replacement cost! Commissioned in 1992 this is a very desirable sailing yacht of great strength and grace. Once you have sailed her we are sure that this boat will live up to your expectations in every way. "Heidenskip" is the ideal boat for the couple that is looking for a yacht ready to go anywhere and still be able to go on anchor in the shallows of the carribean.
