Offers invited

A rare opportunity to own a true offshore cruising yacht.

NORMA is a unique Van de Stadt Norman 46 DS, designed for safe offshore sailing, long-distance cruising and comfortable liveaboard use. Her robust steel construction, centre cockpit and spacious deck saloon make her an excellent choice for sailors looking for a capable, comfortable and reliable cruising yacht.

The yacht underwent a major professional refit in 2004, during which a significant part of the yacht was renewed and upgraded. In 2025, the hull was professionally repainted at Wrede Shipyard in Germany.

The Volvo Penta TAMD30A turbo diesel engine has been extensively serviced and upgraded over the years.

The steel hull has been professionally inspected using ultrasonic thickness measurements, confirming it to be in very good structural condition.

NORMA is an excellent choice for sailors looking for a strong, comfortable and well-equipped yacht for offshore cruising, extended voyages or full-time liveaboard life.

The yacht is available for viewing and sea trials in Helsinki, Finland.

Part exchange may be considered. I am particularly interested in a well-maintained three-cabin sailing yacht located in Southern Spain, preferably with a transferable marina berth.
