A classically elegant sailboat
We know the Dutch taste for sailing. Their numerous inland waterways allow pleasant day trips or trips for a few days. The Heeg shipyard responds to this program with a classic and comfortable elegance, thanks to its new Pointer 30. The shipyard uses for this range of dayboats and small cruisers, launched in 2012, its know-how acquired since 1950.
The Pointer 30, with its 9.20 meters long and 2.90 meters wide, has balanced and classic lines. A discreet roof, combined with a straight bow and a measured freeboard, are seductive. With 48 m2 upwind and 68 m2 of gennaker, the Pointer 30 should offer the necessary power for pleasant sailing on all types of water with only 1.25 meters of draft.
A comfortable cockpit to enjoy while sailing and at anchor
The architects have designed a cockpit with two long benches that can accommodate up to 8 people. One will be able to enjoy the anchorage during the summer, well leaning on cushions, held to the coaming thanks to a magnet.
When sailing, you can lean on the back of the roof comfortably, without being bothered by the electronics, cleverly integrated in a recess. The halyards are not in the way when sailing.
On the helmsman's side, Heeg has chosen a tilting wheel steering system. The helmsman can position himself or herself to rappel, to center or to heel depending on the wind strength, by pressing a simple pedal. At anchor, the helm is tilted to one side, freeing the circulation towards the bathing platform.
A cabin with a hushed atmosphere
Once past the few steps of the descent, one discovers a cosy interior where the shipyard has taken care of the details. Heeg is able to propose some customizations. In the visited specimen, one finds 2 coffin berths under the cockpit and a front cabin in the point, with its toilet and WC.
It is in the saloon that the originality lies. On the port side, the shipyard has installed two real comfortable leather armchairs. Rotating on their legs, they can be used face to face around a small table, or as a lounge complement facing the starboard bench. Finally, the front armchair, turned towards the bow, will be used as a seat in front of the generous desk-cum-chart table.
We note the care taken in the finishing of the saddlery and woodwork. Felt baskets in the trunks allow to store the material, while absorbing noises and vibrations. Pockets suspended on a cable are used as equipment and can be fixed according to the time of the day in the cabin or on a wire outside.
A beautiful high-end unit
This sailboat is offered in two versions, electric or thermal, with a choice of a 6 kW Torqeedo pod or a 15 or 20 horsepower Yanmar engine.
The base price is 154,000 euros.
