Really a nice sailing ship with many sailing opportunities both inside and outside the Netherlands, due to the depth of the keel, thus a large sailing area.The Bries is a classic polyester sailing ship designed and manufactured by E.G. van de Stadt in the years 1968-1972. The Bries is known for its seaworthiness and its quirky superstructure, which is high and has relatively straight lines; it may not appeal to everyone, but that high structure provides a lot of comfort and ensures a spacious salon with a headroom of over 180 cm. It is suitable for sailing holidays and day trips, has a reputation as a stable and reliable cruising yacht. Designed for coastal waters, IJsselmeer, Wadden Sea, and even the North Sea if used wisely. Due to the relatively heavy construction and significant ballast, the ship feels sturdy, even in stronger winds. This van de Stadt has been professionally maintained with great care for the last 17 years, and you can see that. Many updates such as the rigging. The mast base has been professionally repaired, and the engine has been overhauled. All invoices are available. Are you curious? Feel free to call to make an appointment for a viewing.
