2021 SES CUSTOM Truly Classic 128 Vergleichen

Built by SES Custom in 2021, GRACE III is a 39.01-metre sailing yacht based on the Truly Classic 128 design by André Hoek. She is one of only five hulls completed in this series, with an aluminium hull constructed by Bloemsma in the Netherlands and finished by SES Yachts. Her exterior and interior styling, along with all naval architecture, were developed entirely by Hoek Design, drawing inspiration from the great J Class yachts of the past while remaining a thoroughly modern sailing vessel. Her layout features a distinctive single large deckhouse with an open, spacious cockpit and steering position set well aft — a configuration specifically requested by her original owner, an experienced yachtsman.

GRACE III is equipped with a fractional sail plan designed to deliver strong performance in light airs, complemented by a Park Avenue boom for straightforward sail handling. Her CFD-optimised torpedo-style T-bulb keel is positioned slightly further aft to align with the mast step and machinery space, contributing to a righting moment comparable to that of a J Class yacht. Below decks, the layout offers accommodation for up to nine guests across four cabins: a full-beam master stateroom aft with its own elaborate en-suite facilities, a VIP cabin to starboard, a twin cabin with a Pullman berth to port, and a flex cabin that can serve additional guests or crew depending on use. The elevated saloon benefits from a double ceiling height created by the deckhouse above, and crew accommodation for up to six is provided in two separate cabins forward.

GRACE III suits a buyer who is drawn to serious sailing combined with refined, classically styled cruising. Her performance-oriented hull, capable offshore rig, and considered layout make her equally suitable for extended private passages or managed charter programmes. The flex cabin configuration adds practical versatility depending on whether the owner prioritises guest comfort or a larger professional crew. For those who value craftsmanship, sailing pedigree, and a yacht built to a clear vision rather than a production template, GRACE III represents a compelling and coherent proposition.
