This expedition vessel has been built and kept by her first owner since built in 1983.
The very knowledgeable owner conceptualised her as a vessel to escape, survive and be self contained for ultra long distance in ultimate safety. She has been riding out typhoons in the Pacific area in complete confidence.
Her specification exceeds Lloyds requirements by some 25% in most areas of construction and was built to last in R41 steel. She has been kept in Lloyds A1 class to date and inspected annually. She is ready to go anywhere on the globe.
VAN TRIUMPH can easily be converted to a unique mega-explorere-yacht looking for a new owner keen to explore the remote areas on the globe. She could easily be continuing her role as an expidition / inspection vessel or serve as a training vessel in any part of the world.
She is offered at a fraction of replacement cost.
Viewing recommended.

This deck could easily be converted to carry a helicopter or seaplane.The hull was built of R 41 corrosion-resistant steel above the waterline. This has resulted in virtually no rust anywhere on the vessel. The hull was substantially overbuilt (approx. 25% in excess of Lloyds requirements) to meet the owners strict guidleines to survive anywhere under any conditions. Even with three compartments filled with water the vessel is designed to maintain full longitudal integrity. The key operational areas of the machinery and controls have a double skin hull as to be able to withstand an armed attack. All areas of the vessel have been continuously maintaned to Lloyds class requirements by mostly the same crew who built the vessel in 1983.
