Chic and slim: the Pointer 25 from Jachtwerf Heeg
It's in the name: a good sailor, especially downwind. The Van de Stadt design is intended to impress not only on the water, but also in the harbour

If you look at the Yachtwerf Heeg portfolio as a whole, the ship is the logical consequence. After the Splash, Randmeer and G2 dinghy, the latter also designed by the Dutch design studio, there was a lack of the option to go on longer cruises just as sportily, but with a cabin. This is what the Pointer offers, according to the shipyard. Four berths measuring 2.10 metres in length and a small galley and WC on request - everything is there for travelling, including the built-in diesel, Yanmar's 1GM10.

The shipyard has provided space in the cockpit. Up to six people should not stand or sit in each other's way when sailing. The fat-head mainsail and bomb keel, which contains almost 50 per cent ballast, ensure that this is also fun. The total weight of 1500 kilograms is just as trailer-friendly as the width of 2.50 metres. This means that you don't even need an off-road vehicle to move around with the 7.70 metre boat - a large saloon will do.

Anyone who spends the 59,500 euros including 21 per cent VAT on a ready-to-sail boat with an inboard motor can also help shape the modular interior and design. The first boats will be available from September. More information is available at jachtwerf-heeg.nl.
