BROKERS COMMENTS Daniel Bombigher designed his SHPOUNTZ schooners for long voyages; the hull shape, deck layout, rig sail plan and internal layout all contribute towards making them real marine homes. They are steady at sea, leaving no wake, even fully laden. The small draught provides easy access to estuaries and rivers. Her stability makes her comfortable to live well on board, regardless of the weather or the state of the sea, whether cooking, eating, sleeping or washing. The sail plan is well spaced and easy to balance. The long keel slopes aft to optimise reaching. The centre board forward helps windward performance, and is adjustable to suit all headings. The gaff schooner rig, sails virtually by touch whatever the conditions – at maximum efficiency with no effort, just like a big dinghy. HOLLANDER is currently in remarkable condition; this vessel has benefitted from an owner who has meticulously maintained every last detail and equipped the boat to go anywhere – the interesting thing is; she is schooner rigged and her dimensions and layout would allow a family to live comfortably on an extended cruise and handle her easily. HISTORY Apparently it was a wealthy Frenchman who wanted the Bombigher Schpountz 44-40 design for his son, handpicked a crew of master craftsmen, creating the firm Hollander S.A. on the Seine at Villeneuve le Roi and had her built – with an obvious obsession for perfection – over some 3 years. Around 1991 a German music producer saw her in the Med – immediately fell in love and was to take her through the French and Kiel canals up into the Schlei, just by the Danish border. More a huntsman than a sailor however, his time aboard dwindled to two weeks a year and in the early 90s she came to the attention of her present owner. He did not acquire her on first acquaintance but a couple of years later, by which time she had become a bit neglected. Her new owners, and a team of ten professionals from all the relevant trades working full time for four winters (September to June) set about with enthusiasm to give her a complete overhaul, covering every aspect of the boat from shaft to top of the masts. That done they have made full use of her to the enjoyment of all. Typically they have spent the summer months cruising the Baltic with the highlight in 2008; the 25th anniversary of the Risør Trebåt Festival. She has been wintered in the water under a custom designed cover.
