Specifications
The Frans Maas Raider 35 is a sailing yacht with a rich history and a design renowned for its seaworthiness. This particular model, built in 1969 at the shipyard in Veere, was designed by the renowned Dutch yacht designer Frans Maas. With a length of 10.68 meters, a width of 3.20 meters, and a draft of 1.45 meters, this vessel provides a solid foundation for sailing trips on open water. The hull is made of polyester and has a semi S-shaped form, contributing to a stable and comfortable sea passage, even in rougher conditions.
Construction and Deck
The construction of the boat consists of a polyester hull with a deck originally built with a balsa core between the inner and outer layers. Currently, there is leakage in the deck, which has led to water damage in the interior. The balsa core needs to be replaced with a foam core to restore the structural integrity of the deck. This makes the ship suitable as a project for someone with technical knowledge and experience in shipbuilding or restoration.
Interior and Accommodation
Inside, the Raider 35 offers a headroom of 1.82 meters and sleeping accommodation for five people in fixed berths, with the possibility of six additional sleeping places. The layout includes a dining area, mattresses, a refrigerator, an oven, and a stove. The ship is equipped with a manual toilet connected to a 50-liter waste tank. The water tank has a capacity of 300 liters. Heating is not available on board.
Engine and Technical Equipment
The boat is equipped with a Vetus 3.09 inboard diesel engine from 1999 with a power of 25 hp, distributed over three cylinders. The engine starts electrically and, according to the owner, has been regularly serviced. The cruising speed is around 9 km/h. The electrical installation includes a battery charger, alternator, shore power connection, voltmeter, and two batteries with a total capacity of 200 Ah. The onboard voltage is 12V and 220V.
Navigation and Electronics
In terms of navigation, the Raider 35 is equipped with a Raytheon Autohelm 2000+ autopilot, Raytheon wind meter, GPS, depth meter, log/speedometer, compass, and a VHF radio. This equipment makes the ship suitable for longer trips and navigation on the open sea.
Sail Plan and Rigging
The boat has one aluminum mast and a sail plan consisting of five sails: mainsail, storm jib, spinnaker, drifter, and gennaker. The foresail is equipped with a furling system. The condition of the sails is described as moderate to poor, meaning replacement or major maintenance may be necessary. Steering is done via a tiller in the open cockpit. The rudder is single.
Equipment and Safety
On deck, there are a cockpit tent, pulpit and pushpit, fenders, lines, a swim ladder, and a guardrail. For anchoring, there is an anchor with chain and line, but without a windlass. In terms of safety, the boat is equipped with a lifebuoy, an expired inspection of the life raft, and a self-draining cockpit. An electric bilge pump is available for water drainage.
History and Use
The current owner has owned the ship for over 25 years and has made extensive trips along the European coasts, including the Mediterranean and the Bay of Biscay. The boat has been mainly used for pleasure cruising, vacations, and weekend trips. The hull is described as robust and suitable for seafaring, partly due to the semi S-shaped form.
Registration and Documentation
The boat is equipped with an International Certificate for Pleasure Craft (ICP) and the VAT has been paid. No trailer is included in the sale.
Conclusion
This Frans Maas Raider 35 offers a solid foundation for an experienced handyman or enthusiast of classic sailing yachts. With its seaworthy design, functioning engine, and extensive navigation equipment, the ship is suitable as a restoration project. The current state of the deck and interior requires attention but also offers the opportunity to build the ship according to one's own insights and wishes. The value of the engine, winches, and equipment already represents a significant part of the asking price, making the project attractive to the right buyer.
