*PRIVATE YACHT – NOT FOR CHARTER*
Sailing Yacht VALQUEST is a Dubois-designed and Bloemsma & Van Breemen-built sloop which was launched in 2010. Measuring 40.75m (133’8″), she was constructed from aluminium, and sports a light silver metallic hull with high gloss mahogany and white leather finish inside.
VALQUEST has contemporary sleek lines, a low profile deckhouse to take in the views, and an uncluttered and simple deck layout to aft and forward. Her exterior is excellent for entertaining and alfresco dining as well as easy performance sailing. Her sheltered and roomy cockpit area gives a wonderfully protected outside space. She has sunbathing loungers to aft as well as a snug tented forward seating area.
Her interior is spacious and light-filled as created by her split level saloons. This interior layout gives a light and spacious area for dining and relaxation up in the deck saloon area which is on the same level and the aft cockpit. Also, the lower saloon space allows for a more intimate ambience below. Dubois has been designing large sailing superyachts for some time and with considerable success. The Valquest yacht benefits from several leading Dubois superyachts in the evolution of modern yacht design.
This sailing yacht has been custom designed to perform pleasingly during long range cruising in safety and comfort. She has spacious storage compartments built into her structure so that deck and social areas are left free of sailing equipment. She is equipped with dual head stays, a roll-away boom with captive winches enabling all sail handling systems, and hydraulically operated running backstays. Twin-prow anchors on the bow enable the yacht to be anchored safely in all sorts of beautiful locations.
The yacht can accommodate a maximum of eight people. She has a layout featuring a spacious master stateroom aft and another three guest suites with individual ensuite bathrooms. With three double cabins and one twin, she has a one Pullman bunk, one queen bed, two double bed and two single bed format.
Valquest was built in the Netherlands entirely in aluminium. She is fitted with dual headstays giving sailing flexibility. Her roll-away boom and captive winches for all sail handling systems and hydraulically operated running backstays add to her ease of sailing. She has a relatively wide beam of 8.9 metres, giving her a large volume and spaciousness, with a draught of 4.15 metres. Valquest was constructed to both Lloyds Register classification and the MCA large yacht code. Her tenders are located on the foredeck and in the aft peak, as launched by a dedicated hydraulic crane housed in the deck locker.
An experienced and professional crew of six is on board of this magnificent sailing yacht.
