G-Wind Berckemeyer

This fast cruising yacht was built by G-Wind Marine in South Africa. Her aluminum construction is much lighter than steel and nearly as strong, it is slightly heavier than polyester, but much stronger and more resistant to impact. Aluminum has far less danger of being holed and therefore is safer at sea. With todays technology the corrosion worries of the past are over. Her advanced coatings and anodic protection, will leave you with more time to sail and less time maintaining your yacht. The hydraulic lifting keel and strengthened bottom allows the yacht to be beached. The integral tankage forms a double bottom and built in water ballast tanks. Other features include dual wheel steering, keel stepped mast, and Cutter rig. She has successfully logged 4,000 nautical miles. South African VAT is paid. Owner is moving up.

A recent delivery quote from Durban, South Africa to the North Eastern United States came in at $19,500 which included a captain and 2 crew members. This yacht has done days of 160nm without pushing it, and have clocked a top speed of 16 knots. She goes to windward easily and tracks well with her deep keel and twin rudders. The hull has a narrow entry so she does not slam, and has an easy motion.
