1995 Symbol 41 Super Sedan Exceptional Cruising Comfort and Timeless Design The 1995 Symbol 41 Super Sedan is a classic motor yacht known for its solid Taiwan-built craftsmanship, efficient performance, and practical design. With her spacious two-stateroom, two-head layout and open salon, this Symbol offers the comfort and livability of a much larger yacht — ideal for extended cruising or weekend getaways. The salon features large wraparound windows for excellent visibility and natural light, a lower helm with full instrumentation, and an inviting seating area that opens directly to the aft deck. A few easy steps lead up to the generous flybridge, offering excellent sightlines and plenty of seating for entertaining or enjoying the view underway. The galley is well-appointed with a three burner Princess stove/oven , ample storage, and convenient access to the dinette and salon. The master stateroom forward features an island berth and private head with shower, while the guest cabin offers twin berths and its own access to a second head. The dinette converts to a berth also. Powered by dependable twin diesel engines, the Symbol 41 delivers efficient cruising speeds and excellent handling. Wide side decks, a large swim platform, and sturdy construction make her safe and practical both at dock and at sea. This is a very well kept example shed kept Symbol and is in great shape with loads of recent upgrades.

The owner has kept this one up to a very high standard but is downsizing.
Iltchi is a tough, stylish and fast ketch, designed to reward her owner with a great sailing experience. In terms of appearance, this 76ft centreboard ketch is something of a departure for Hoek Design, but as far as function is concerned, she is very much within our scope of naval architecture. Designed as a long-distance, go anywhere cruising yacht with a ketch-rigged sail plan, she should be powerful and efficient off the wind and easily managed by a short-handed crew. She is destined for Pacific cruising, where her ability to reduce draft to 2.6m should come in very useful. The focal point of the accommodation is a combined galley, navigation and dining area located in the main deckhouse where the occupants can enjoy a superb 360° view of their surroundings. The owners’ cabin and one guest cabin are located forward with two guest cabins aft, one of which can become a crew cabin if required. The interior is finished in white washed oak and features leather upholstered seating. The main cockpit is large and well protected with all sheet winches positioned within reach of the helmsman. There is tender stowage beneath the expansive aft deck and the transom door opens to double as a swimming and boarding platform. Her aluminium hull was built by Alucraft and fitted out and finished by Aluboot, both in the Netherlands. Iltchi is named after Winnetou’s horse in the German novels of the same name – it means ‘wind’.
