Almonde

Classic Under 40 feet

Almonde is based on the Englyn design by Harrison Butler, and built in Holland at the Kok te Muiden yard in 1934.

She is named after the 17th century Dutch Admiral, Philips van Almonde, and was commissioned as a present for the retiring Captain of the Dutch Royal Yacht, the Piet Hein.

Queen Wilhelmina and Queen Beatrix are rumoured to have learnt to sail in her.

With a total length of over 10 metres, she is framed in oak, with hull, deck and superstructure in Mulmain teak
