2013 Dykstra 60 for Sale – 60 ft – Amsterdam, Netherlands

Delivered in May 2014, the sixty-foot Claasen pilot cutter Perseverance is the fruit of perfect collaboration between the very experienced teams of Dykstra naval architects and DeVosDeVries interior architects. As a result, she is an excellent example of a modern take on a classic design and particularly easy to operate. All sails can be controlled from within the cockpit. Carbon mast and boom ensure that Perseverance has great stability without the need for heavy ballast despite her draught of just 2.6 metres, and all the equipment is of an exceptional standard. A thorough update was executed at K&M Yachtbuilders in Makkum in winter 2020-2021, check the list in the specification below!

Perseverance’s classic lines are emphasised by a metallic bronze hull colour by BMW, while the carbon mast is black and the cap rails are finished in solid teak. This dynamic appearance is further enhanced by very wide teak planks on deck and an exceptional feeling of space. The interior is modern, spacious and luxurious and offers two double cabins for four guests, both cabins with their own bathroom. Perseverance is a true delight for the senses, both in port and on open water.

 Just returned to Amsterdam, the Netherlands! 

Dutch designers deVos deVries design have styled the ‘light and contemporary’ interior. The interior gets lots of light from the exterior. Materials used are stained oak, dark bog oak trims and ‘industrial chic hardware’.

The deckhouse provides excellent and all-around exterior views and state of the art navigation electronics and control systems. The salon and galley are a few steps lower but are equally light and airy. 

The double guest cabin is on portside aft and has a double bed. The adjoining bathroom has a toilet and shower.

On starboard aft there is a cabin which gives ample space and access to most of the technical systems and is also used as laundry. 

The owner's cabin forward is very spacious and has a separate toilet and shower ensuite.

The sofa in the salon can be converted into a double bed as well.

There is a lot of storage space in the interior (technical space) and also exterior: big forepeak, huge storage under cockpit seating, and huge lazarette, all easily accessible.
