Van de Stadt – A Legacy of Innovation in Yacht Design

Founded by Ericus Gerhardus van de Stadt, Van de Stadt Design has been a pioneering force in yacht architecture since the 1930s. The company revolutionized yacht building by introducing modern materials like plywood and polyester, leading to groundbreaking designs such as the Stormvogel, one of the first maxi yachts.

✔ Innovative Designs – Known for daring, efficient, and seaworthy yachts. ✔ Proven Racing Success – Designs like the Zeevalk and Pioneer dominated international races. ✔ Enduring Reputation – A trusted name in performance sailing and offshore cruising.

Van de Stadt yachts are celebrated for their speed, reliability, and craftsmanship, making them a top choice for sailors worldwide.

This 42′ Van de Stadt aluminium cruising yacht is for sale in Namibia. She appears to have been well maintained and has an appropriate inventory for blue water cruising. A significant Raymarine electronics upgrade was installed in February 2024. This in-part included Chartplotter, Radar, Wind, Depth, speed and auto pilot to the value of R 230 000.oo. In the event that you are in the market for a purpose built open ocean vessel in this class I would like to suggest that you put her on your to view list.
