LWL	24' 8"	Rig	sloop	Breeons are extremely pretty traditional yachts, built of top quality materials to very high standards by Frans Maas in Holland. Although when designed they were competitive racers, they now make a lovely moderate to heavy displacement fast cruiser, with the advantage of comparatively shallow draught. This yacht started life as an ocean racer, and was mentioned in an early edition of Adlard Coles' "Heavy Weather Sailing", having survived unscathed a 1964 storm in which another yacht and one life was lost. She has since cruised extensively, and remains in very good condition, a tribute to her original build quality, and years of maintenance by just two long-term owners between 1965 and 2005. A swinging mooring in Portland, near Weymouth, may also be available if required.

The 'Breeon' class was a racing yacht design from the early 1960s, and examples of the class proved very successful racers. The Maas brothers yard was founded in 1935 at Breskens and is still building high quality racing and cruising yachts under the 'Standfast' brand name.

We sold this yacht on from a long-term owner two years ago, and she is now unexpectedly back on the market, as the present owner is having to deal with other considerations and projects.

The hull is carvel-planked iroko on steel frames with laminated iroko stem and sternpost. The carvel hull planks are edge-fastened (as far as is known it has never been necessary to replace a plank on this yacht, and at 45 years old the planking is still in superb condition). She has a teak deck on a marine ply base, with mahogany cabin trunking and interior joinery. This hull photo is from 2005, as she was so packed in amongst other boats ashore that it was impossible to show the hull properly when the other interior and exterior photos were taken in March 2007.

The original Sabb 2-cylinder diesel is a genuine low-revving heavy flywheel marine diesel, and as such is an extremely long-lived piece of machinery. It drives a two-bladed variable pitch feathering and reversing prop via a conventional sternshaft.

Photographs March 2007

This photo shows the original wheel fitted, seen here in 2005. The wheel and pedestal is still available, and could be reinstated if required.
