Built to order for our vendor by J. Rekkers ’T Oude Maasje B.V. Overdiepsekade construction commenced in 2009 and finished in 2011. 5mm steel hull 4mm steel superstructure, aluminium radar arch (lowers electrically for bridge clearance). Impressive steelwork (folds and curves "à la Hollandaise”). Craftsmanship and quality materials throughout. We are told that this was the last boat built by the yard before the owners retirement and appears to be a real swan song!
