1997 Hoek Classic sloop

One of the most stunning designs of Hoek Design Naval Architects.

Copihue is a result of the combination of hundreds of thousands of miles of ocean-going experience, together with the expertise of Andre Hoek’s design office in Edam.
When Andre was approached by the owner, it was to design an easily handled, attractive family sailing yacht with a circumnavigation in mind. Aluminium was chosen as the hull material and a traditional aluminium, not carbon, mast was chosen for strength and durability.

The traditional lines and long overhangs belie a modern underwater section, with a deep fin keel and spade rudder under water to enhance performance and manoeuvrability.
Her modern, skeg hung rudder is immediately aft of a fully variable pitch four bladed propeller.
Her decks are clean and sweeping, with a low and well placed aft deckhouse, emphasising her classic appearance. Ample use of teak adds to the classic atmosphere of the yacht inside and out.
