fast and seaworthy yacht, ideal long-distance cruiser

The Van de Stadt Madeira 44 is a very stable and fast oceangoing yacht. The design is ideal for long distances a.o. thanks to her fixed doghouse and large cockpit. This steel yacht is in good condition and will be completely repainted in 2023. She is an ideal combination of comfortable living on board and fast offshore cruising under all conditions. The boat can easily be sailed by a small crew or even solo.
The interior is spacious with a warm nautical look. The carpentry is beautifully executed in a combination of dark wood and many light panels. The many windows and hatches let in a lot of light. Upon entering, on the port side is the spacious L-shaped galley, equipped with all modern conveniences. On the starboard side opposite is the navigation corner. Amidships is the spacious sitting area with generous sofas around the table. In the bow is the owner's cabin with en suite wet cell. In the aft ship are two cabins with a total of 3 berths.
The propulsion comes from a VW diesel engine with 75 HP. The advantage of this reliable engine is that if parts are needed, they are available in many places around the world. The technology on board is also well executed and drawings of everything are available.
