Custom Van de Wiele Ketch

The Van de Wiele ketch is a sister ship of the famous Belgian yacht "Williwaw," which is currently located in the Antwerp Maritime Museum. With this sister ship, Willy de Roos has sailed an impressive 360,000 miles across the oceans. This should be proof enough that the design is particularly seaworthy. You may judge for yourself whether this is a yacht or a ship. During construction, "Blue pearl" was scopped, or galvanized. This means that rust has no chance. The construction is extra heavy to make the boat suitable for freezing. Both the current and previous owner have performed proper maintenance and replaced many items (see specifications).

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

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