They had been thinking about rounding off the lower end of the programme for some time - and then the moulds of the Victoire 933 came up for sale. "We always thought that the 933 was one of the best ships in this size," says Lars van den Berg, owner of the shipyard. "Dick Koopmans drew the design around the same time as our 37. So the boat fits in well with our line," he continues.
The shipyard is currently working with Koopmans junior to adapt the deck and revise the hull-deck connection. The first Breehorn 31 should be afloat before the summer. The length-to-width ratio is striking, but not new. It is 3.3, making the Breehorn rather slender with a length of 9.65 metres. The width of 2.95 metres is also box dimension-friendly and ensures a more favourable berth in the harbour, as it is less than the usual three metres. Equally remarkable is the ballast ratio of 43 per cent. "The new boat is also a genuine Breehorn. She is designed for comfortable travelling and living at sea," says van den Berg.
The Breehorn 31 is available with a draught of 1.30 or 1.80 metres from 119,500 euros including Dutch VAT of 21 percent.
