Frans maas Calypso 43 at De Valk Yacht Brokers

A very strong and seaworthy ocean-going long-keel round-bilged steel ketch with a protected cockpit, a powerful engine, abundant storage and big tanks. Thirty five years in current ownership. Over 135,000 miles logged since 1990, including an Atlantic crossing, five crossings of the Pacific plus a season in Alaska. Labarque has been based in South East Asia since 2007, completing annual circuits between Phuket and Bali. Labarque is currently being used as a ‘country cottage’ under cover at Pangkor Marina, Lumut, Malaysia and would be happy to start a new adventure with her new owner!

This Calypso 43 of Frans Maas is solidly built and well maintained. Her layout and inventory list makes her equipped for long distance cruising and has received numerous renovations over the years. This cruising yacht with a very nice accommodation and a large amount of storage space below deck is suitable for a long life on board. She provides a safe and stable "platform" for the captain and crew, even in the most difficult conditions. In addition, the center cockpit with covered steering position is impressive, which can be closed completely with a cover in bad weather. A yacht to live on.
