De Valk lists modern-classic A

 

The 'Aeolian' is for sale through De Valk Palma, a stunning 90 ft sailyacht launched by leading Dutch yard Holland Jachtbouw in 1998 and refitted in 2008 to the highest possible standards. As one of the famous Hoek Design modern-classic designs, Aeolian offers timeless style with a contemporary performance.

Aeolian‘s tall cutter-rigged sail plan, grand deckhouse, split sailing cockpit and ample freeboards make for a exceptionally safe and comfortable sailing experience. The yacht was nominated for the International Superyacht Design Award in 1998 and her superior refit makes her one of the best examples of an Andre Hoek masterpiece available on the market today.

Her 6.60-metre beam and medium high displacement gives Aeolian a surprisingly spacious volume for a slender 90-foot sloop. The extra space generated below decks has been used for a huge split-level lower saloon and deck-saloon with dining table for eight and panoramic views. The combination of the spacious cockpit on deck and open plan deckhouse with navigation area means that Aeolian is perfect for cruising in any kind of climate.

Aeolian‘s large owner’s stateroom is forward as are the crew quarters (for four) and mess. The two guest suites are aft and each has its own bathroom. The lower saloon has distinctive entertainment/relaxation area working/office area and the generous headroom emphasises the open space. With a wealth of watersports toys included, Aeolian is ideal as a luxurious family cruiser yacht and /or successful charter yacht.
