Hello all,
I currently selling my 1976 40'
steel van de Stadt, called Zeebeest. She is in turn-key condition with everything ready for
water sailing">blue
water sailing. Currently located in Prickly Bay in
Grenada. I just bought her this December as I was going to
live aboard while I attended
school for three years in
Grenada. However, I don't like the
school so now want to go back to the states. Zeebeest is listed here:
Yachts and boats offers round the world - CYB and a search for van de Stadt finds the ad, Zeebeest is the only van de Stadt listed. The ad currently says
sold as it is the ad the previous owners posted. Below is the information from the ad. I am having trouble uploading pictures but will post them asap; some pictures can be found at caribbeanyachtbroker.com I am happy to send pictures of anything you would like to see and answer any questions. I am asking $45,000 USD or perhaps a
trade for something of equal value located in the US. Please contact me via private message or at my
email cvreagzayn@earthlink.net
