SECURITY and SAFETY

Security and Safety will hopefully never have to be a concern of yours. This is why the topic deserves its own section!
We would like to draw your attention to the Security and Safety features – and then forget it all, appreciating that your yacht has what it takes to meet unforeseen events and weather for bluewater cruising.

We asked judel/vrolijk & co to pay extra attention to seaworthiness in the stability calculations, choice of material, hull structure, rig configuration, etc. Each cabin is equipped with fire and smoke detector, fire extinguisher and telephone. The owner's cabin can receive various warning signals, such as wind changes, anchor position, etc. All electronics are connected through a redundant NMEA2000 system.

The galley is all electrical - no open fire or gas containers and the engine compartment is of course also equipped with fire and smoke detection and extinguisher. All sailing functions can be performed from the cockpit. In case work on deck would be necessary, the supplied harnesses can be attached to the rail running alongside the superstructure.

  Should worst come worst, the man-over-board function records and transmits the exact position.
Safety buoys and a fully equipped 8-person emergency raft is stowed in the cockpit for quick and easy access.
The powerful and reliable Yanmar engine is dimensioned to overcome strong, long-distance head-winds.

Having a beautiful yacht is bound to attract attention, but unfortunately not always the attention appreciated. Therefore, the yacht is equipped with a wireless surveillance system. Concerns over leaving the yacht unattended need not be an issue anymore - motion detectors monitor any activity on board and activates a camera, which will forward a picture to a designated computer or even to a mobile phone.
