koopmans yacht

The Company

       , d. koopmans jachtontwerpers founded in 1961,                                     .

As well as designing new yachts, I can assist you with alterations to your present boat.

To design your yacht, I use modern computer software. However, with every new design I start with an empty sheet of paper on my drawing board.  When I have sufficient information on the design that you would like, I feed this into the computer. To optimise the designs I am a member of the research group Yachts of TUDelft and use the latest velocity prediction programs (vpp). I have several design programs so I can offer drawings in 2D and 3D and 1:1 plots.  

The Beginning

Dick Koopmans Sr. started the Company in 1961, his first commissions were motorboats. However, with Dick being passionate about sailing, gradually he received more and more requests for the designs of sailing yachts. Up to 1985, he worked on his own, but when Dick Jr. graduated from the School for Advanced Technology VOF D. Koopmans Jachtontwerpers was established.    Although most of our designs are cruisers, a number of our boats were and are still very successful in local and international racing events such as The North-Sea Race, The Fastnet, The Round Britain & Ireland and The OSTAR.    Renowned trips with a Koopmans' design started with the single-handed trips of Eilco Kazemier and Cees den Hartoog. In 1973 Eilco Kasemier in Bylgia circumnavigated from east to west including Cape Horn. In 1977 Cees den Hartoog sailed to Australia and back in Sentijn. Since then many expeditions have been made from Spitsbergen to Antarctica. More recent are the over-wintering trips to Greenland by the Haverkamp family between 2009 and 2014.  In 2013 a transit of the Northwest Passage was made by Mark van de Weg in Jonathan III. Nowadays there is a Koopmans' design somewhere on passage in every ocean.

D. Koopmans Jr.

Dick Koopmans Jr. was born in 1962. From a young age, building model boats was a favourite pastime of Dick’s. By building and sailing such small boats, he gained a good insight into how a sailing yacht functions. Building model boats from drawings gave him a good understanding of the connection between a 2D drawing and a 3D construction. After graduating from the School for Advanced Technology in 1986, he started his career as a yacht designer.     Besides designing yachts, Dick is a passionate racer. He won the Round Britain & Ireland Race twice and was 3rd in The OSTAR 2009. He has also done a lot of cruising, Tahiti, Spitsbergen, Iceland, the Faeroes and many other places have been explored. So far, he has sailed more than 150.000 miles on different boats. His plan is to sail many more in the future, besides visiting places and meeting people.

D. Koopmans Sr.

Dick Koopmans Sr. was born in 1935. A keen racer, Dick Koopmans Sr. started the office in 1961. According to one of his clients, he learned the trade from his father who was a funeral director and built coffins!  Dick, however, had a keen eye for shape and to improve his skills he went to the School for Advanced Technology in Haarlem.     Besides racing, Dick sailed every weekend and holiday during the summer with the family. By 1979, he found it difficult to combine racing and cruising with the same boat so he designed a centreboard yacht, named Jantine IV, which the family sailed to places like the Azores and Spitsbergen. Later together with his wife Elly, he sailed Jantine V to Patagonia, Antarctica and the Pacific.

Koopmans 37 Blikvis

Home › The Fleet › Koopmans 37 Blikvis

Dick Koopmans jr. based this design on his own ship JAGER (hunter) with which he sailed already 75,000 miles. It’s an allround vessel that is used both for fast cruising and for racing. JAGER won a ‘Round Brittain’ race, the ‘Shetland-Bergen’ race, the ‘Seilmakeren’ and various cold-handed and 50 mile races.

The Blikvis is 2 feet longer and has a few, based on the latest insights, changes. The retractable keel remains in the deepest position by itself, even if the hydraulic system should fail.

Blikvis can dry out upright using the double rudders and yacht legs. After KM Yachtbuilders finished the hull, the deck hardware and rigging, the owner himself took care of the outfitting.

SEA OTTER was commissioned in 2000 by the owner of North Star International Inc. to showcase the very best of Dutch Yacht design and construction. After displaying SEA OTTER at the 2002 Miami Boat Show, business plans changed and she sat, lightly used, in Miami until the current owner purchased her in 2013.  This owner has extensive cruising experience, including circumnavigating a custom 46-foot Perry-designed aluminum sloop.  He appreciated the design and superlative construction details of SEA OTTER and knew this boat would be perfect for another singlehanded circumnavigation. SEA OTTER was outfitted for this journey but has only cruised the Gulf of Mexico, Caribbean, east coast of the U.S., and Bahamas.  She is now back at her homeport of Clear Lake, Texas and fully found ready for that shorthanded lap around the planet.

SEA OTTER was built in aluminum by the Mekon Shipyard in Lemmer, Netherlands to Dick Koopmans design No. 286. The interior teak joinery was crafted by Rob Fritz Interior & Yacht Carpentry (www.robfritz.nl).  SEA OTTER meets, and in many ways exceeds the standards of the Hutting-built Koopmans designs. This bespoke elegant cutter will turn heads in any harbor with her dark blue hull and graceful lines. Typical of the Koopmans designs, SEA OTTER has a centerboard to access shoal draft areas while retaining good windward performance.

With a full understanding of what’s needed to cruise shorthanded over long distances and maintain a cruising yacht, the owner/seller has struck a perfect balance of “keeping it simple” (manual Andersen winches and at mast mainsail reefing) with just enough luxuries to stay healthy and comfortable (Echotec watermaker, cabin fans, beautiful teak interior, Seafrost refrigeration).  SEA OTTER will appeal to the safety conscious sailor looking to find value in a fully outfitted, capable, twenty year old yacht built to the highest level of quality.

DECK & HULL:

SEA OTTER is fabricated from marine grade, welded aluminum for strength and integrity.  The hull is insulated with sprayed foam in way of living areas for thermal and acoustical reasons.  This classic Dick Koopman’s design has a pleasing shear line and traditional overhanging bow and stern.  A hydraulically controlled centerboard minimizes leeway while sailing to windward and minimizing draft to access shallow cruising grounds.

SEA OTTER’s hull sides are painted with Flag Blue linear polyurethane.  A 2” tall white boot stripe located well above the waterline.  The bottom was painted with red Petit Vivid in August of 2021.  A 2” high welded rub railed runs from bow to stern protecting hull sides from pilings and piers.  A 3 ½” wide teak cap rail is secured to the 3” high bulwark.  Freeing ports located at low points on each side deck drain sea or rainwater.  Four fixed ports are recessed into the hull sides to illuminate the salon.

Side decks and foredeck are wide and covered with Marinedeck cork/rubber.  The decks and cabintop and cockpit are painted with Oyster White polyurethane.  An 18” high coachroof located between the cockpit and mast is fitted with stainless steel handrails on each side.  Deck hatches and cowl vents with integral dorades are mounted forward of the mast atop a 3” high raised platform.  27” high uncoated wire double lifelines run be tween bow pulpit, stern pushpit, and midships boarding gates.  Midships gates are fitted with Gibb snap hooks for easy opening and positive closing.

The ”T”-shaped cockpit is spacious and well-protected behind the cabin and cockpit dodger.   A fixed bimini aft provides shade for the helmsman.  A connector panel can be used when not sailing by moving the mainsheet attachment to either rail.  7” high teak-capped coamings are 12” wide; for stepping on, sitting on, and winch placement.  Cockpit seats measure 66” long by 18” wide with 11” high backs.  The cockpit sole and seats are covered with teak.  A 17” high by 25” long bridgedeck keeps seas out of the companionway.  The helm seat is 20” wide by 56” long.  The cockpit sole is sloped and slated to enhance standing comfort while steering to windward and healed.  An LED light in the boom is located above the cockpit table for dining at night.

Deck accessible storage includes a liferaft locker below the port cockpit seat.  A 34” by 13” gasketed and guttered hatch in the starboard cockpit seat access the huge “walk in” storage locker/technical space in the starboard quarter.  This space is also accessed from below via a door in the head compartment.  There are three lazarette locker in the stern with deck hatches aft of the coaming.  One houses the cooking gas cylinder.

SAILS & RIGGING:

SEA OTTER is equipped for shorthanded sailing.  Top shelf gear was selected and installed with a focus on reliability and dependability while sailing to the world’s most remote locations.  A balance of crew safety and ease of use was achieved by leading headsail furling lines aft yet keeping mainsail halyard and reef lines at the mast where one can see what’s happening while tucking in or shaking out a reef.  Wide side decks and flush foredeck make working at the mast base safe and easy.  The staysail is on a fixed furler to take full advantage of the cutter rig.

MECHANICAL & PLUMBING SYSTEMS:

SEA OTTER received a new Beta engine and transmission in August of 2021.  The shaft seal was replaced and Aquadrive shaft coupling refurbished.  New engine space insulation and raw water strainer were installed.  This work was done by Zimmerman Marine in Oriental, NC.   Fuel burn is reported to be 0.8 gallons per hour at six knots.

Access to the engine is very good.  The companionway ladder lifts on gas struts to access the engine front end and dipstick.  The aft end and transmission are accessed through a panel below the aft stateroom berth.  An Aquadrive shaft coupling system allows softer engine mounts and less noise and vibration.  The Volvo shaft seal is truly “dripless.”  Water heater, batteries, and primary fuel filter are below the aft cabin berth.   A large storage/technical area in the starboard quarter holds the watermaker, access to steering, and AC electrical equipment.

ACCOMODATIONS:

SEA OTTER’s interior is entered via the cockpit companionway.  A sliding teak overhead hatch and teak washboards seal the companionway.  Bulkheads on either side and rubber non slip tread staves make this five-step ladder manageable in rough weather.  Once below, the quality of build and thoughtful seagoing design are immediately evident.

Interior furniture is even-grained Burmese teak; the best choice for harsh marine environments and pleasing to the eye.  All surfaces are fully sealed in satin varnish.  Corners are rounded and trimmed with solid wood.  Doors are panelled. Countertop fiddles are topped with bullnose doubling as handholds.  Toe kicks are below galley and nav station cabinets.  Hardware is chrome finished and cabinet latches are pop out pushbutton.  The cabin sole is Bruynzeel marine plywood topped with 3/16” thick solid, unvarnished teak and holly.  The entire cabin sole is removable providing full access to bilge spaces.  The overhead is faux tongue and groove marine plywoodand spray painted semi-gloss white.  Reading lights and overhead spot lights are well-placed throughout.  Overhead hatches are fitted with flush-mounted Oceanaire blind/screens.  Upholstery in the staterooms and salon is navy blue with gold accent spots.

Starting in the forward stateroom headroom measures 6’ 3”.  The V-berth measures 78” long by 74” wide aft by 18” wide forward.  A seat step with bin storage under is in the notch.  Upholstered 8” thick cushions lift to access storage bins.  The bow thruster is all the way forward below the bunk.  A door in the upper forward bulkhead accesses the chain locker.  9” wide bookshelves run for 33” along the hull sides below the deck edge, above the bunks aft; great locations for reading glasses, cell phones, headlamps and books.  Aft to starboard is a tall, 29” long locker with three shelves.  The shelves are removable if one prefers this to be a hanging locker.  A locking privacy door in the main bulkhead closes this cabin.  Two reading lights, two cabin fans, two overhead spot lights, a 16” x 16” deck hatch, and a 9” x 12” deck hatch complete this stateroom.

A stall shower is aft and to port inside the forward stateroom.  The shower and head compartments are fabricated from marine plywood, epoxy and filler.  Fully sealed with epoxy and finished in sprayed gloss white paint, they have the appearance of being molded fiberglass but with much great strength and panel rigidity.  A seat is outboard with a storage cabinet above it.  A Grohe single lever mixer, adjustable height mounting bar, spray nozzle and hose allow one to stand or sit while showering.  Two overhead spotlights, a 12” by 7” overhead hatch, an overboard drain pump and locking privacy door (painted white on the inside) complete this space.  A hanging rod below the overhead hatch makes this a great location for hanging wet foul weather gear.

The saloon is centrally located, low and sufficiently large for entertaining, dining, and sleeping.  The starboard settee measures 80” long by 29” wide aft by 18” wide forward.  Cushions are sculpted and the ends rounded.  A teak leeboard with dedicated storage and “in use” mounting backets makes this settee a wonderful sea berth.  There is storage below and outboard of both settees.  A 13” wide shelf runs along the hull side for 55” centered below two fixed hull side ports.  Storage cabinets flank these ports.  The aft starboard cabinet has dedicated glass and bottle storage.  To port and “L” shaped settee measures 78” long by 54” wide.  Cabinets and shelving are a mirror of the starboard side.  A diesel cabin heater with glass viewing window is mounted on the main bulkhead.  The dining table is mounted on the wood-covered mast compression post.  This table extends with an internal, folding leaf to 38” wide by 48” long; adequate for six diners.  Four dimmable overhead spotlights, two reading lights, under cabinet rope lights, two cabin fans, four 11” by 5” fixed hull side ports complete this space.  Headroom measures 6’ 1” forward and 7’ aft (below the trunk cabin).

The galley/nav area is raised up 10” from the salon, taking advantage of the raised trunk cabintop.  Fuel and water tanks are below the cabin sole.  The “C”-shaped galley is to port, and well configured for cooking underway.  The Corian countertop is white with grey and light blue flecks.  Stainless steel underhung sinks measure 12” x 12” x 8” deep and 9” x 12” x 8” deep.  Grohe single lever faucets provide hot/cold freshwater via electric pump or salt and freshwater via foot pumps.  A 2-1/2” high fiddle and 2” wide bullnose helps keep items and the countertop and also serves as a handhold.  Headroom measures 6’ 3”.  A two cubic foot freezer box with spillover 1.5 cubic foot fridge is located below the countertop forward/outboard.  Insulation is 5” thick.  Lockers and drawers are below the counter and sink.  Pot/pan storage is below the stove/oven.  Outboard, below the deck edge are cabinets for storing dishes and cooking gear.  Two overhead spot lights, two underdeck task spotlights, two 110V outlets,  two 5” by 12” opening cabinside ports complete this galley space.

• 12V Seafrost air cooled refrigeration compressor with stainless steel evaporator, air circulating fan(in fridge box), and digital thermostat
• Broadwater gimballed two burner propane stove/oven
• Trident propane solenoid valve control panel

The navigation station is to starboard and forward of the companionway, adjacent the galley.  The forward-facing chart table measures 40” wide by 31” long with a 3” deep drawer below the hinged top.  A 24” wide seat is fitted with bottom and back cushions and storage bin below.  A “catch all” 18” by 9” by 8” deep storage bin is outboard of the seat.  A storge locker with four slide-out drawers is forward, below the chart table.  Navigation and communications electronics located forward.  The electrical DC switch panel is outboard.  A cabin fan and two opening ports provide ventilation.  A flex arm nav light can be used at night.  Two underdeck spotlights and two overhead lights are fitted with dimmers.  Headroom measures 6’ 5” standing just inboard of the nav station, at the base of the companionway.

The head is immediately to starboard of the companionway, the best location for use underway; especially for the singlehanded sailor.  Headroom measures 6’ 3” just inside of locking, paneled privacy door.  White, wipe down surfaces keep this space bright and easy to clean.  A manual flush Lavac head is flush mounted in a cabinet forward.  An round sink is aft set in a vanity with Corian countertop and varnish teak fiddle.  Cabinets below and outboard of the sink and head provide storage for toiletries and cleaning supplies.  An overhead hatch an opening cabinside port ventilate this space.  Overhead and underdeck spotlights provide nighttime light.

The aft stateroom is aft of the galley and entered through a paneled door.  Headroom measures 6’ 4”; ample for a tall crewmember to stand up and dress before watch.  The double bunk measures 78” long by 64” wide forward and 33” wide aft.  The upholstered cushion is split for easy removal and access to equipment and storage below.  Forward is a locker with three removable shelves, above a set of cabinets and open shelf.  Two cabin fans, two reading lights, two spotlights, a 9” x 12” overhead hatch, opening cabinside port, 110V outlet, and 12V outlet complete this stateroom.
