The Van de Stadt Greif, built in 1964, is an exceptional classic wooden sailing yacht designed by Heinrich Bölke. Her elegant lines, traditional wooden interior, and timeless design make her a truly special classic with plenty of character.
The yacht has undergone extensive restoration and technical refurbishment in recent years. The hull and superstructure were completely overhauled, the entire electrical system was replaced, and an Eberspächer auxiliary heater was installed. Great care was taken to preserve the yacht’s original character and classic appearance.
The interior has also been extensively refurbished. All of the sails are new and unused, and most of the upholstery has been replaced. As a result, the Greif not only looks well-maintained but also offers a modern level of comfort on board.
Below deck, the lovingly preserved woodwork creates the special atmosphere of a classic yacht. Two cabins, sleeping arrangements for up to six people, a cozy salon, galley, and restroom provide the perfect setting for both relaxing weekend cruises and longer voyages. The teak deck and classic woodwork underscore the special character of this classic yacht.
A particular highlight is the surviving original paperwork and extensive documentation regarding the yacht. They provide valuable insight into the history and origins of the Greif and are of special value to enthusiasts of classic yachts.
The Van de Stadt Greif thus combines classic lines and traditional craftsmanship with extensive restoration and modernized technology. This is a rare opportunity for enthusiasts of historic wooden sailing yachts who are looking for an authentic classic without having to undertake a major restoration project.
A classic boat full of character with a rich history, fully restored, technically modernized, and equipped with a new set of sails—ready for new voyages.
