The making of the Bestevaer 36 S/Y - Ep.3 Sustainability

With the Bestevaer 36 S/Y, we are sailing to sustainability. Together with Dykstra Naval Architects, the most sustainable options were constantly chosen in both the design and construction process. This has resulted in a long list of sustainable improvements: Electric propulsion, highly efficient regeneration, 70% recycled aluminum for both hull and mast, sails and running rigging recycled from PET, an unpainted hull, bead-blasted anti-skid, no antifouling but sustainable foil, no teak but thermally preserved European wood, no foam but insulation with spray cork.
In this episode we are happy to explain more about the yacht and sustainable choices that were made.

She is charmingly very tempting … Love the philosophy, her lines and the spirit. Now, I will play the lottery

That’s a great yard and design

Have followed Gerard Dijkstra since sailing Second Life in the OSTAR. Always so sensible and yet innovative. The best of Dutch yachting.

this is great. How will she be in the tropics i wonder? is ventilation sufficient?

[@marcusornroth6388]

This is the boat we have been looking for! Love it and your focus on sustainability. I hope there is place enough for bigger water tanks?!

[@KMYachtbuilders]

We can always customize the ship for you or install a watermaker.

Een goed doordacht schip. Kwaliteit straalt er van af. Prachtig om te zien. Ik zou wel kriegelig worden over hoeveel tijd het kost om het te bouwen, maar wellicht is dat normaal. Ik hoop dat de eigenaar er nog lang van mag genieten op het water!

[@KMYachtbuilders]

Begrijpen we! Er gaat veel tijd in kleine details zitten en alles is handgemaakt. De kwaliteit staat voorop.

[@PeterPan_was_here]

Awesome boat! Only thing I'd change was at least 2 separate sleeping cabins in the interior. The single open space would be too open for my liking.

[@kylek2794]

Why have you chosen mineral wool for insulation in this case instead of a material like closed cell foam ?

[@KMYachtbuilders]

Closed-cell foam is a good option, but it is less efficient in its application since it comes in rigid panels and requires extra effort to conform to the hull shape and cover the stringers and web-frames.

Super Konzept

"PromoSM"

[@bertcatsburg649]

Impressive. Very impressive. But can you guys stop with these video's? Because I'm afraid the order-books are full the moment I have saved enough money for this one.
