The Zuidkaper 40 ft is the sister ship of the well known Noordkaper, and is owned by the first and only owner.There are some minor design differences between the Noordkaper and the Zuidkaper, designed by Martin Bekebrede. For the most part, however, the design is identical. The Zuidkaper has a slightly different transom and a little less sheer. The boat is exceptionally seaworthy and well suited for ocean crossings.The Zuidkaper 40 is a quality yacht with an impressive appearance: rugged and robust, yet stylish and comfortable. Wide side decks and the wheelhouse with a beautiful view make life under sail a wonderful sailing experience. The wheelhouse is a real eye-catcher; in bad weather, there is a dry, warm, and safe place inside for everyone. The construction and welding are reminiscent of commercial shipping more than yacht building.The optimal length-to-width ratio offers surprisingly ample space for modern comfort. The vessel is highly suitable for long distances, especially with a small crew (shorthanded), and for living on board. The panoramic deck saloon with interior helm contributes to this. The retractable keel makes sailing in shallow water possible. The Zuidkaper differs slightly from the Noordkaper (slightly narrower transom and slightly less sheer) and has the same ocean-going status. The underwater hull of both vessels are identical. The underwater hull has been treated with a coppercoat epoxy system.This vessel was built on commission for the current owner and is equipped with every conceivable option. A unique feature is the fold-down transom, which makes it easy to step aboard from the dock.The ship was built to CE Class A and is suitable for the ocean. VAT has been demonstrably paid with a Dutch customs declaration.General:Ship name GusAnne, make and type Zuidkaper 40, length 12.80 m, beam 4.13 m, draft 1.60 to 2.60 m, year of construction 2016/2017, the ship was completed in May 2017, hull number NL-FLNBN181C617, builder Flevo Jachtbouw, designer Martin Bekebrede, round bilge, retractable centerboard, steel, anti-slip paint on the working decks, teak on the cockpit rim, cockpit benches and on the cockpit floor, displacement 21,000 kg, ballast 4,000 kg, interior joinery oak (oiled) combined with modern white, 4 berths, 2 cabins, headroom wheelhouse 1.95 m, double glazed windows in wheelhouse, hydraulic steering wheel operation inside and outside, folding steering wheel outside, stainless steel Ultramarin anchor 37 kg with 80 meters of stainless steel 10 mm anchor chain, Lofrans X3 1700W electric anchor winch, spare anchor with 10 meters of chain and 30 meters of anchor line, fold-out swim platform, aluminium swim ladder, fixed stainless steel guardrails all around, stainless steel davits, HF Hydro-Force dinghy with electric Torqeedo outboard motor.Engine:Engine type Vetus Deutz DT44422E, 114 hp, serial number, year of manufacture 2016, diesel, propeller shaft, indirect cooling, 4-blade Variprop variable pitch propeller, Vetus 9524D 8 hp bow thruster, steel fuel tank total 1,200 liters consisting of steel: starboard and port tanks and engine room tank and day tank, switchable coarse filter, tachometer, hour meter approx. 2.000 hours, major service at 2.000 hours scheduled for shortly, gauges and signals for oil pressure and temperature, fuel level gauge.Rigging:Clearance height 18.50 m, sloop-cutter rigged, Selden electric roller mainsail with in-mast furling, Selden electric roller genoa, self-tacking cutter jib on roller furling system, gennaker 114 m², stainless steel rigging, bimini/sun awning over the cockpit, 5 Andersen stainless steel self-tacking winches, 4 electric in the cockpit and 1 manual on the mast.Navigation and equipment:all batteries 2025, 4x service batteries, engine starter battery, generator starter battery, anchor winch battery, 24 Volt system, Whisper Power 6KW generator, shore power connection with RCD, battery charger, 2 alternators, 4500 Watt inverter, 2 solar panels on the wheelhouse, analog compass, B&G depth sounder, log, wind set and forward scan, 2 B&G Triton displays outside, B&G Triton autopilot controller outside, B&G Zeus chart plotter outside and B&G Zeus chart plotter inside and a third B&G Vulcan chart plotter, Icom VHF radio, outside speaker, AIS, radar, B&G autopilot, Echomax radar reflector, navigation lights.Gas and water:600-liter steel cemented water tank, electric water pressure system, hot water boiler, outdoor shower with hot and cold water, WC room with electric toilet, separate bathroom with shower, 200-liter steel waste water tank, refrigerator with freezer, microwave, GN Espace Ocean Chef 3-burner gas stove with oven, gas locker for 2 x 7 kg gas cylinders, electric shut-off valve on gas tank, diesel Kabola KB40 Kombi central heating with radiators and convectors, seawater-cooled air conditioning, Aquatec 110 l/h watermaker (never used), Indesit washer/dryer combination.Disclaimer:All information is provided to the best of our knowledge and belief; however, yacht brokerage eSailing is not liable for the quality and/or description of the vessel.
