Doggersbank is a story of seaworthy sustainability. The robust offshore design, named after a large sandbank in a shallow area of the North Sea and brought to life in 1968 by Vripack founder Dick Boon, continues to captivate adventurous owners all over the world.
The rugged Doggersbank 67’ Heritage is being brought back to the international waters where it belongs, in collaboration with Vripack. It has been completely redesigned and technically optimised to meet today’s most stringent requirements.
All Doggersbank yachts are designed for discerning ‘yachtsmen’ who see the world as their workplace. For people who have their own ideas about how to tailor their yacht entirely to their own tastes and needs. Altena Yachting has experience with clients who have a clear vision of what they want. Every Doggersbank yacht is therefore delivered fully customised.
The yacht features a new hull design and a redesigned underwater hull with a bulbous bow. This bulbous bow reduces wave resistance, resulting in higher speed and improved fuel efficiency. At the owner’s request, the hull plating has been increased from 7 to 8 mm and the engine mountings have been reinforced from 10 to 12 mm. The yacht has been built to CE-A standards and is CVO-certified, ensuring maximum seaworthiness and safety.
The exterior offers plenty of freedom of movement. The Portuguese bridge, in particular, allows you to stand in front of the wheelhouse and enjoy a great view of everything approaching. You can walk around the yacht in complete safety, with plenty of space everywhere. The flybridge provides additional outdoor space; it not only features an extra helm station and comfortable lounge sofas, but also a deck crane for launching the tender.
A great deal of time and attention has been devoted to the interior design. The tasteful interior therefore exudes modern elegance with a warm ambience, thanks to the harmonious combination of solid teak and painted elements. Working closely together, the shipyard, the owner and Vripack have created an interior that is fully tailored to the owners’ personal preferences.
From a technical point of view, the yacht is modern and very well equipped, featuring two powerful John Deere engines, hydraulic bow and stern thrusters, stabilisers and electric spud poles. In addition, a Yachtcontrol system and a Simrad navigation system ensure optimum comfort, control and safety on board.
