Boat descriptionabout whirlwind Whirlwind (formerly Aeolian) was the first yacht that was built and launched at our shipyard at Vredeweg in Zaandam, in 1998. Thanks to a joint effort with Hoek Design Naval Architects (responsible for her exterior, interior and her technical equipment), building her could be achieved in only twenty months. She was nominated for the 1998 International Superyacht Design Award. Interior Whirlwind was designed to meet charter requirements in the late 1990s. This elegant sailing yacht therefore has all assets to guarantee guests a comfortable stay, giving her a relatively wide (6.60m) and medium-displacement hull. The extra space generated below deck makes room for a large master cabin and two guest cabins (all equipped with their own en-suite bathroom). This enables her to accommodate eight guests on board. The crew quarters allow three crew members to sail along. Whirlwind has relatively large rigging, which allows for fast cruising. She is powered by a 325 hp Lugger diesel engine, which gives a cruising speed of 9 knots and a top speed of 11 knots. Whirlwind has had a refit in 2013 and 2018. New electronics, sails, and battery banks 2024.
