Van Dam Nordia and Simonis Voogd join forces New design unveiled for 95’ high performance cruiser Two of the leading names in the Dutch superyacht industry – Shipyard Van Dam Nordia and design studio Simonis Voogd – have joined forces to develop a series of high performance cruising yachts. The first model of this top line is a 95 ft aluminium and carbon vessel sailyacht offering the perfect symbiosis of a bluewater cruiser with the comfort of a five-star hotel and a pedigree regatta performance.
The 95’ high performance cruiser has a raised saloon with a glass panoramic roof and a cockpit with sliding roof. Its flush deck has two steering positions and a spacious sunbathing platform aft. The yacht is equipped with a lazarette that stores a 3.85 Williams Turbojet. The hydraulic transom door gives access to the garage and serves as a permanent teak swimming platform.
The cockpit and saloon are situated on the same level. A very spacious owner’s stateroom with his and hers bathrooms has direct access to the saloon. Additionally, the yacht includes two guest suites with their own bathrooms and a comfortable lounge area below deck.
The 2+1 crew area with separate access includes a cabin, galley, mess and head. As is expected of a Nordia, the yacht has a very large engine room with a powerful 320 hp engine that is accessible from both within the yacht and from the deck.
A lifting keel ranging from 2.50 to 4.50 metres ensures that the yacht has access to a wider range of mooring places and marinas, and that it can compete in the most prestigious regattas. The 95’ high performance cruiser has a sail area of 482 square metres close-hauled and no less than 908 square metres before the wind.
Royal Van Dam Nordia was established in 1881, making it one of the oldest shipyards in the Netherlands. The yard designs and builds custom sail and motoryachts ranging from 50 to 120 foot, and has won various awards for its exclusive yachts.
With offices in the Netherlands and South Africa, design studio Simonis Voogd has over 26 years of experience in designing extravagant racing yachts such as Nicorette I and Nicorette II (Sydney-Hobart race) and Les Folies.
