Hoek Truly Classic 75

Hoek Design Truly Classic 75 (TC-75) - BRAVEHEART. This is the first Truly Classic 75 and is fitted with a sublime Mahogany interior with custom fittings and finish. Braveheart won the ‘Most Beautiful Yacht’ award at the 30th Edition ARC and it is easy to see why this stunning and lovingly maintained yacht was a clear winner. The engine room, engine and systems were rebuilt and refitted 2018/19 at a cost of €200,000 and the decks were re-caulked in 2020. Up-to-date navigation equipment, Carbon fibre mast and boom and a mechanical overhaul are just some of the plus points of this majestic yacht.

The Most Beautiful Yacht is a notable award in that it is voted on by other ARC participants. That year there was a very clear winner, The beautifully maintained Truly Classic 75, Braveheart of Sark. A fitting award as the owner was one of four skippers from the first ARC in 1986 back sailing in the 30th Edition.
