This 16 m Lemsteraak is a well-known sight on the water and one of the most successful designs by Hoek Naval Architects. A highly exclusive yacht, furthermore in top condition, available for viewing in the showroom in Workum. The Otter was built in 1992 by Jachtwerf De Hemmes based on a design by Hoek Design. With a fast underwater hull and flat bottom, it is a very good sailor. The ship underwent a complete refit in 2014, including a new engine and engine room installation, as well as interior renovations. A complete new rigging plan was also created by Van Oossanen, after which all spars, swords, and the complete sail wardrobe were renewed. The hull was repainted in 2017. The ship is in top condition. The spacious interior with two luxurious sleeping cabins is made of Sipo mahogany and has a warm appearance. The design is charming, the finish very high-quality. The salon is spacious, with a wrap-around seating area to port and two armchairs next to the cozy wood stove to starboard. The galley is equipped with all imaginable appliances. Cooking on gas. The wet room has an electric toilet and a shower. Throughout the ship, there is ample cupboard and storage space available. The Otter is richly finished with teak on deck. The cockpit accommodates family and friends, but is also pleasantly spacious for a racing crew. The deck hardware with hydraulically or electrically operated winches has received a lot of attention. Because control of both the mainsheet winch and the sword winches is possible from the steering position behind the helm, the ship can easily be sailed by two people. Maneuvering is easy thanks to the strong Styer main engine, and with a touch of the sword, the ship turns on its axis. The Otter is a true family ship and is suitable for long holidays, in addition to weekend outings on the Wadden Sea. For the Otter, the Wadden Sea was the main sailing area, in addition to holidays in Zeeland, the German Wadden Sea, Denmark, and the Belgian coast. The ship is very stable under sail and in rough seas, and the sheltered cockpit feels safe, as a family member of the owner explains. With sail number VA111, the Otter, like its sister ship Daniëlle, has won many races. Thanks to the new rigging and the new swords, designed by Van Oossanen according to the latest insights, the ship is very competitive. The Otter is a 'must-see' for enthusiasts of a large family ship with racing potential. Viewing in the showroom by appointment.
