WEATHERLY - ANDRE HOEK JACHTBOUW FOR SALE

65' Hoek-Designed Aluminum Sailing Yacht (2002)

A study in elegance and purposeful engineering, this 65-foot aluminum sailing yacht—conceived by renowned naval architect Andre Hoek with interior styling by Ruth Lockley—blends classic lines with modern capability. Built in the Netherlands in 2002 and kept in fine order, she presents as a refined, ocean-ready bluewater cruiser for discerning yachtsmen who value grace, strength, and understated luxury.

Crafted in aluminum for exceptional rigidity and safety offshore, her monohull form is slender and efficient, measuring a sleek 65 feet in length with a beam that preserves a swift, easily driven profile. A near 10-foot draft delivers surefooted stability and rewarding upwind bite, while the hull and deck’s aluminum construction promises enduring integrity with low maintenance. The result is a yacht that inspires confidence when horizons stretch long—and pure enjoyment when afternoon breezes call.

Under sail, she is balanced and responsive; under power, a single Yanmar diesel offers quiet reliability with an effortless cruise around 10 knots and a top speed near 12 knots, ideal for sliding from anchorage to anchorage with poise. Systems are thoughtfully laid out for shorthanded passages or a full crew, with power management, storage, and access engineered for practicality at sea.

Inside, Ruth Lockley’s interior celebrates warmth, light, and proportion. The salon invites with a welcoming ambiance—clean joinery, generous natural light, and seating arranged for both conversation and passage-making comfort. A well-equipped galley supports extended cruising, while abundant stowage and carefully considered ergonomics make daily life onboard a pleasure. Accommodations sleep up to six guests in serene privacy, complemented by two well-appointed heads. Crew are comfortably provided for in a dedicated cabin with two berths, enabling either private family cruising or lightly crewed voyaging as desired.

On deck, her purposeful layout encourages effortless movement and secure handling. Wide aluminum side decks, intelligently placed hardware, and robust fittings reveal a yacht designed for real miles—anchoring confidence in tough weather yet refined enough for a day sail along the coast. The cockpit is both a command center and a social hub: protected, ergonomic, and ready for long watches or sunset dining.

This is a yacht for owners who seek timeless beauty and spirited passages without compromise—where craftsmanship meets capability, and every mile is a quiet affirmation of good taste. Offered in the Netherlands, she stands ready for her next chapter, whether coastal meandering or bluewater adventure.

Embodying the best of her pedigree—Hoek Design purity, aluminum strength, and a welcoming Lockley interior—this 65’ sailing yacht is an inspired choice for connoisseurs of classic-modern style and effortless, confident cruising.
