Van de Wiele Ketch Sold

The Van de Wiele ketch is a sister ship of the famous Belgian yacht "Williwaw", which is now located in the Antwerp maritime museum. With this sister ship, Willy de Roos sailed no less than 360,000 miles across the oceans. This should be sufficient proof that the design is exceptionally seaworthy. You may judge for yourself whether this is a yacht or a ship. During construction, "Blue pearl" was scooped, or galvanized. This means rust has no chance. The construction is extra heavy-duty to make the boat suitable for withstanding freezing conditions. Both the current and the previous owner have carried out proper maintenance and replaced many items (see specifications).

The interior is divided in two and has been modified by the current owner. The salon has a real nautical atmosphere due to the use of dark teak and the renewed floor. Upon entering, the L-shaped galley is on the left, and the navigation corner is on the right. Amidships there is a spacious seating area with benches all around. There is a diesel heater with convectors, powerful enough to heat the entire boat. The forward cabin with double bed accommodates 2 people. Forward on the port side is the bathroom with sink and electric toilet on 12V. The aft cabin, accessible via a new passage made by the current owner, is suitable for guests/children who have a good private spot there.

This Van de Wiele Ketch is in excellent maintained condition and ready to sail. For those looking for a seaworthy yacht, suitable for long stays on board, this is an interesting choice.
