Delivered in May 2014, the sixty-foot Claasen pilot cutter Perseverance is the fruit of perfect collaboration
between the very experienced teams of Dykstra naval architects and DeVosDeVries interior architects. As a
result, she is an excellent example of a modern take on a classic design and particularly easy to operate. All
sails can be controlled from within the cockpit. Carbon mast and boom ensure that Perseverance has great
stability without the need for heavy ballast despite her draught of just 2.6 metres, and all the equipment is of an
exceptional standard. A thorough update was executed at K&M Yachtbuilders in Makkum in 2020, check the list
in the specification below!
Perseverance’s classic lines are emphasised by a masculine aesthetic: the hull is a metallic bronze colour by
BMW, while the carbon mast is black and the cap rails are finished in solid teak. This dynamic appearance is
further enhanced by very wide teak planks on deck and an exceptional feeling of space. The interior is modern,
spacious and luxurious and offers two double cabins for four guests, both cabins with their own
bathroom. Perseverance is a true delight for the senses, both in port and on open water.
Accomodations
Dutch designers deVos deVries design have styled the ‘light and contemporary’ interior. The interior gets lots of
light from the exterior. Materials used are stained oak, dark bog oak trims and ‘industrial chic hardware’.
The deckhouse provides excellent and all-around exterior views and state of the art navigation electronics and
control systems. The salon and galley are a few seps lower but are equally light and airy.
The double guest cabin is on portside aft and has a double bed. The adjoining bathroom has a toilet and
shower.
On starboard aft the is a cabin which gives ample space and access to most of the technical systems and is
also used as laundry.
The owner's cabin forward is very spacious and has a separate toilet and shower ensuite.
The sofa in the salon can be converted into a double bed as well.
There is a lot of storage space in the interior (technical space) and also exterior: big forepeak, huge storage
under cockpit seating, and huge lazarette, all easily accessible.
