The Koopmans 52 is a sturdy yacht with an elegant look and is suitable for long voyages. The design by D. Koopmans is characterized by a long and relatively narrow hull with an S-shaped frame, which guarantees pleasant behavior in rough seas. For the experienced sailor, the boat is fairly easy to sail short-handed. The cockpit offers good shelter, and navigation is possible both from the cockpit and inside the wheelhouse. The kotter ketch rig can be reefed in stages, allowing it to withstand any storm. The owner has carried out continuous maintenance.
