De Vries Lentsch Blue Water Ketch

Wooden ships Comments on this De Vries Lentsch Blue Water Ketch

Designed by De Vries Lentsch and built by Dutch luxury yacht builder Dik Van der Heiden in 1987 as a blue water ocean cruising yacht, specifically designed as a comfortable and capable yacht for extended family cruising.

In only her 3^rd ownership, this yacht has travelled many thousands of miles around the globe, crossing the Atlantic numerous times and served as a cruising home for a young family.  Designed and built to withstand the rigours of ocean sailing, her hull is immensely strong and her sheltered centre cockpit makes her a very safe boat at sea.  The ample deck space and cavernous interior make for very comfortable live aboard conditions as she has proved over the years.

Continual upgrades and improvements in recent years include a new teak deck in 2014, new teak coachroof decks in 2019, engine rebuild 2019 plus new generator, batteries and a water maker.

This is a serious live aboard cruising yacht with excellent pedigree and provenance, more than capable of setting off again around the world be it with a family or single handed.
