Discover this highly exclusive aluminium longkeeler, designed by Dick Koopmans Sr. and Hutting Yachts, in collaboration with legendary Porsche designer Anatole Lapine. With a pilothouse, three berths, and two toilets, this sailing yacht offers maximum comfort for adventurous couples seeking long-distance cruising — in both warm and cold waters.
Meticulously maintained and lightly used, the yacht crossed the Atlantic in 1995 before being stored indoors at Morris Yachts in Florida. Since 2011, she has been gently sailed during winter months in the Bahamas and carefully stored under cover when not in use.
A true one-off Hutting 40 — a rare and striking yacht that will turn heads in any marina. The interior is just as unique and full of character as the exterior.
The yacht is currently located in Florida. Online viewings are available and highly recommended, as the current photos do not fully reflect the quality and well-maintained condition of the Hutting 40 'Velvet'.
This yacht features the classic, timeless lines Hutting Yachts are known for, combined with the proven offshore performance of Dick Koopmans designs. Seaworthy, stable, and safe in any weather, this sailing yacht is built for serious long-distance sailing.
With a 10–5 mm thick aluminium hull, 1.60 m draft long keel, and Stalite Rafa safety glass, the yacht offers strength and security at sea. Mahogany details add a refined touch of style.
The deck is finished in Awlgrip Griptex over Treadmaster; durable, low-maintenance, and ideal for warm climates.
Thanks to the pilothouse design, the yacht offers a spacious and bright interior with excellent visibility — ideal for steering or enjoying the sea from inside. The layout is perfect for two people, with the comfort to host guests as well, featuring two cabins and two toilets.
The interior is crafted from mahogany and teak cherry, giving it a warm and inviting atmosphere. With a generous 2-meter headroom throughout and a Webasto heater, it’s comfortable in all climates.
The well-equipped galley includes a Corian worktop for a luxurious touch, and what truly sets this yacht apart is the addition of traditional Dutch tiles, giving the kitchen a unique and charming character.
