And we are off! After two years of marking time we have finally purchased our new expedition yacht, a Koopmans 45!
For those unfamiliar with the Koopmans they are an Aluminium Dutch designed yacht, https://www.dickkoopmans.nl/over_ons/het_ontwerpbureau.html
”Classic design by the famous D. Koopmans Sr. As with all his designs, they excel in seaworthiness, cruising performance and safety. Spacious, shallow draft, “Sunday Island” combines it all with her centre board (1.30/2.45 m) and cutter rig. Very well thought interior layout what makes her perfect for longer sailing passages.
