Van De Stadt Holiday 25

Designed and built by E.G. Van De Stadt this is a beautifully built and maintained classic wooden vessel similar to a Sparkman & Stephens look. Built by old world craftsmen, the Holiday Yachts are designed to last for generations.  The original deck was of trunk stepped design, which has been removed and replaced with a more conventional Herreshof style dog house  which contributes to her pleasant looks. Everything above the gunwale is new since 1984. She’s a comfortable boat with a light displacement for good performance.  She’s rugged built of African mahogany planking,oak frames and then sheithed with epoxy. All hardware are bronze or stainless. The running rigging is modern, and many of the blocks have wooden cheeks. The spars are wooden and in good condition. Her rig is deck stepped and has a fractional sail plan. She sleeps 4. There is an Evinrude outboard available for use as there is no inboard. A bracket must be added or sailed without power.  This boat is beautifully maintained and upgrades are always completed by the owner to constantly upgrade her. He just completed the significant project of rebuilding the deadwood and keel of  „riff“ sawn Douglas Fir, white oak, new keel bolts and epoxy fiberglassed. The boat is really a different product now.  The owner is a skilled artisan having worked for over 30 years in bronze, wood and sculpture. Every job on this boat has been done with the best products with a great deal of research and care. With the renewed deck & bright work, new keel, new keel bolts, rebuilt trailer & new tires – there’s not much left ot do other than take her out and have some fun. He is anxious to sell and the boat will be in his shop for a while, which is heated and great for inspecting the boat, but before the snow flies the boat will be moved outside under cover (10/14).
