Max Oertz Bermudan Cutter For Sale Wooden Ships comments on this superb yacht for sale

Designed by Max Oertz and built by Hans Heidtmann, Hamburg in 1925.

Max Oertz was the Kaisers naval architect and was responsible for the Kaisers own yachts, Meteor IV and Meteor V, as well as numerous 10m rule yachts and his big schooner Germania.

This design was very advanced for her time and an unusual design but proved to be fast and sea-worthy, winning the North Sea Race and the Kieler Woche in the late 1920s. She later moved to the UK and was in the ownership of the Blewitt family for many years (Mary Blewitt of RORC fame) and later owned by Maurice Laing, who operated her as a sail training vessel in Scottish waters.

After a complete rebuild in the mid 1990s, she was purchased by the current owners in 2007, who have continued to update and maintain the boat to a very high level. A full list of recent works is available upon request but includes a new engine, new teak deck, new sails, new ballast keel and keel bolts and an updated interior.

Since 2007 she has been raced regularly in classic sailing regattas proving to be a fast, comfortable boat and a real head turner. Her large sail area and long waterline length make her a fast boat but still easily handled and suitable for family cruising.

A superb sailing yacht with a fully documented history, well maintained and up to date, ready for the season.
