Welcome
to Van de Stadt - USA, the North American and Caribbean Agents for the Van de
Stadt Design Group of Holland.
Van de
Stadt Design Group is a world leader in modern innovative yacht design and
construction, using the latest computer technology. They have well over
600 designs to their credit ranging from 19' to 110' for both the home and
professional builder, with more than 25,000 yachts worldwide built to their
designs.
Founded
in 1933, by Ricus Van de Stadt, this company is recognized throughout the world
as one of the pioneers of modern yachts design. Their philosophy
is to design high quality yachts that are safe, fast and comfortable. This has been accomplished using fractional rigs with smaller, more easily handled headsails and halyards that are led back to the cockpit area. Pilothouses and raised deck salons provide refuge for the crew while allowing
natural light and good visibility for those below. With positive stability limits between 125º and 135º (depending on the construction material used). Van de Stadt designs are stable, easily driven hulls with speed as the end result.
The Van de Stadt Design Team is also a leader in computer aided design. Plans are laid out on non stretch mylar sheets with tremendous accuracy with the help of computers. For a more in depth description of our
latest building techniques in aluminum, steel , fiberglass and wood core/epoxy, please refer to our catalogue.
As well as representing yards for new construction, we are also the principal site for the listing and selling of pre-owned Van de Stadt designed vessels.
