1997 CLAASEN JACHTBOUW Cutter rigged sloop Vergleichen

Built by Claasen Jachtbouw in 1997, Copihue is a 22.8-metre cutter-rigged sloop designed by Hoek Design, whose work on this project spanned more than two years. Named after the Chilean national flower, she draws her inspiration from traditional racing yachts and stands today as one of the most elegant modern classic sailing yachts of her generation. Her long flush decks, low coach roof and beautifully proportioned sheerline give her a visual balance that is rarely achieved at this size.

Copihue's construction and fit-out reflect the very best of Dutch yacht building. Her interior and exterior woodwork are executed with a level of detail and craftsmanship that clearly demonstrates the care invested in her from the outset. Accommodating up to three cabins, she offers a comfortable and well-considered layout for a yacht of her length. Every aspect of her design was planned with a specific purpose in mind, resulting in a vessel that feels both refined and genuinely usable.

Copihue was designed from the beginning to be managed by a family without the need for professional crew, making her a particularly practical choice for experienced sailing owners who value independence and ease of handling. Her traditional lines and manageable overall dimensions make her equally suited to coastal passages and extended cruising. She is a yacht that rewards seamanship and suits a buyer looking for character, quality and a real sailing experience.
