2008 Van de Stadt Stadtship 70

.A true globetrotter,The Stadtship 70 "Red Rooster", build by K&M Yachtbuilders, is a true unique piece.The design brief was simple: Build me a yacht that offers good sailing performance while being a comfortable passage maker. She should have a spacious interior, a separate accommodation for a crew of two and a considerable number of berths for guests. She is custom built with much input from the owner, an experienced yachtsman. A remarkable feature of this yacht is an extensive pneumatic system for operating: bow thruster, fuel system, waste system, cockpit table, pneumatic tools, bowsprit, transom door, water pressure system and an "airbag system" to keep her a float incase of a collision. Her powerfull carbon mast & boom, in combination with the watertanks which can be used as water ballast, are a guarantee for excellent performance! She offers 4 cabins, 4 bathrooms, a spacious saloon and a very well equiped kitchen. "Red Rooster" has a proven track record in the northern hemispheres and as well in warmer climates like the Med and the Azores. She is in an impeccable condition and absolututly worth a visit!
