SPIRIT 425 – Elegance, performance, and offshore preparation

Some sailboats stand the test of time.Others inspire a desire to set sail.

This Spirit 425 is one of those rare units that combine true sailing pleasure, high-quality construction, and serious preparation for the open sea.

Built by the Belgian yard Van Heygen based on plans by Jacques de Ridder, the Spirit 425 is directly inspired by the great Scandinavian race-cruisers like the X-412: a performant, balanced, and reassuring hull, capable of covering miles in comfort and safety.

Launched in 2002, this owner’s boat in a 2-cabin version has benefited from rigorous maintenance and constant investments, with particular attention paid to reliability, energy autonomy, and optimization of the deck layout.

Based in Cherbourg-en-Cotentin (possible berth).
