Discover a rare gem in Canadian yacht-building excellence: the Crescent 40, handcrafted by DeKleer Bros. Industries in Richmond, British Columbia. Built during an era when Canadian manufacturers like Gozzard and PDQ set the global standard for quality, this 40-foot sailboat embodies unmatched durability and meticulous craftsmanship.
This isn’t a production boat—Kattegat was constructed with premium materials and purpose-built strength to conquer the world’s toughest waters, from the icy coasts of Alaska to the open Pacific. With over 110,000 nautical miles logged by her original owner and sister ships still cruising Australia and beyond, this vessel is a proven bluewater performer with a legacy of adventure.
For sailors who value custom quality, Canadian heritage, and a yacht built to last generations, Kattegat offers a rare opportunity to own a true maritime artifact. Don’t settle for ordinary—sail extraordinary.
