WINTER STORAGE PAID UNTIL APRIL 2027

A beautiful classic Van de Stadt Spirit 28, currently stored ashore in Monnickendam.

This is an excellent opportunity for anyone looking to purchase a sailing yacht ahead of the new season. The boat is currently ashore, making it easy to inspect the hull, keel, rudder and underwater fittings before purchase. The new owner can take advantage of the remaining winter storage period to prepare the boat for launch in spring.

Designed by the renowned E.G. van de Stadt and built in 1980 by A.J. Van Heygen in Boom, Belgium, the Spirit 28 is known for its enjoyable sailing characteristics, seaworthiness and solid construction.

The yacht offers a practical layout with accommodation for up to five adults and generous storage space. It feels solid under sail and handles challenging conditions confidently. The fibreglass hull is in good condition, with no soft spots detected.

Powered by a Volvo Penta MD7A diesel engine, the boat has received significant maintenance and several upgrades during 2025/2026.
