Sailingcutter 15.45, large sailing area
Vision Doeve Brokers
Former eel transport vessel, completely converted into a comfortable liveaboard vessel in the 1990s. Thanks to her unique construction, this cutter is ideally suited for the adventurous water sports enthusiast who wants to explore both the Baltic Sea or the Mediterranean Sea, as well as the inland waterways. The current owner has sailed this vessel from Stockholm in Sweden to Barcelona in Spain and in France even the Canal du Midi and the Garonne up to Bordeaux. Of course, many more cruising areas are possible. The masts are collapsible and currently lying flat. The hull has a lugger stern and a steep bow, giving her a beautiful line. The vessel is equipped with an owner's cabin with a double bed, a spacious salon with an L-shaped sofa that can easily be converted into an extra double berth, a wheelhouse with steering position, dinette and galley. In the aft cabin, accessible via a hatch in the floor, there are three more berths. The vessel can also be steered from outside by using a remote control. In short, an excellent opportunity to sail both coastal and inland waters with one and the same vessel.
