The Bestevaer 53 is the most successful of the Bestevaer series of which a number of ships have been built. Those ships have proven to be no-nonsense, reliable go-anywhere-yachts with excellent sailing properties. New design features of the Bestevaer 53 are, for instance, an improved sail plan and deck lay-out for easy handling. The designer, Gerard Dijkstra, has given a great deal of attention to good sailing qualities either under power or sail, shorthanded operation, comfort, safety, storage space, and service friendliness. The Bestevaer 53 meets all of these aspects and being a custom built yacht, the varying demands per owner for interior layout and equipment are taken into consideration.
The ‘Seasquare’ has a deep and safe cockpit with steering wheel. The pilot house provides shelter from wind and spray.
Her carbon mast and furling boom make the sail handling easy especially for a short handed crew.
If the weather gets too bad the crew moves inside the light pilot house and keeps watch from there. The professional steering seat ensures a comfortable watch.
Down below is a modern but cosy interior with a long galley and U-shaped sitting/dining area. Two baths and two cabins ensure privacy for owner and guests. A technical area situated is situated underneath the pilot house. The door between salon and owner cabin might look like a regular door but it is actually a watertight door in a watertight bulkhead.
