A wonderful, purpose-built yacht, tough as nails, safe, and shoal-draft, at home in high latitudes or tropical atolls. In a time of luxurious “”Marina Queens” it is refreshing to see a yacht designed to be at sea in adverse conditions. 👍
Great boat...can't afford it unfortunately. May I ask : in several google pictures you can see Novara was once kitted out with a wind vane and a windgenerator (on the side of the aerorig) Any particular reason why you removed these ? You also haven't followed the current trend of plastering your boat with solar panels...perhaps that's not worth it in the higher latitudes ?
Dutch build of-course such a cool ship the name bestevaer is an old 17 century nickname for a navy admiral, given by his crew. Admirals, good to go sailing with, and fair for his crew on the whole fleet... the name means, best to sail with. Two of the greatest admirals in our Dutch history Admiral Tromp and Admiral de Ruyter received this tittle. Look here on you tube; Raid on the Medway Then you will know why Admiral de Ruyter got his name Bestevaer from.
That's a fantastic looking yacht which is very fit for purpose, but what is the point of the aft dagger boards? They don't look long enough or sturdy enough to help with beaching, but I can't imagine that they would help much with reducing leeway either.
The dagger boards give fantastic straight line stability going downwind. On my last crossing of the Atlantic from St John's Newfoundland to the UK we ran before the 35 to 40 kt winds with 3 reefs in the forward main and 1/2 forward jib, centre board at 45 degrees and both dagger boards fully down. Ran straight and true, surfing at 16 kts with one registered at 19 kts!
60ft quality Berthon narrow beam a lot of sail area, older yacht well insulated for cold weather. But to me the inside lay out doesn't = a 60ft liveable yacht. Would love to sail her as a daily tho.
We forced our way through 7/10 tenths ice in both the North West Passage and Antarctica, breaking floes as we went. Hit one ice flow in Peel sound doing 8 kts under sail. 40mm aluminium in the bow.

how can someone give thumbs down for this dream yacht?
great sailboat. clearly well built but it seems to have a quite small interior for a boat of its size

I want it, can be delivered to eastern Canada ?
In theory. Contact details for her broker are in the video description. Kind regards.
why would a monohull need daggerboards??
@@BerthonInternational Interesting, didnt know that
Why do you want to sell her? If it is not a secret of course ;)
£350,000 + VAT.
put a roof over the wheel, and this boat would be perfect...
