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’.
