Winner Yachts offers the best of both words: cruising sailors enjoy sporty sailing yachts that cut through the water with speed and ease, while more competitive sailors have the chance to be serious competitors in club or national sailing races. A Winner is right on track, and always way ahead.
Established in 1986, Winner Yachts is a builder of purebred sailing yachts. Quality and craftsmanship are its guiding principles. Every year, the yard produces around 20 new high-quality, sporty and comfortable sailboats between 8 and 12 metres in length. Its range currently comprises five
contemporary models.
Winner 8
The elegant lines of the Winner 8 by Cees van Tongeren (a Van de Stadt design) come together in a boat for true sailors, for both cruising and racing. A focus on keeping the centre of gravity as low as possible has ensured very high stability for the Winner 8, while a standard draught of one metre and twin rudders make it suitable for almost all inland waters. For those who prefer to sail in deeper waters, a 1.50-metre keel will be available as well. The Winner 8 is trailerable (with additional permit).
Winner 9
Whether you fancy easy cruising or prefer fast sailing fun, the Winner 9 has something for everyone. The superbly designed cockpit ensures that all versions offer the highest sitting comfort and
safety. For more performance-oriented sailors, the model comes with a performance deck gear package or even a retractable gennaker pole.
Winner 10
Its elegant, timeless lines and tiller-optimised cockpit make the Winner 10 a true sailboat for sailing addicts. Its moderate beam makes for a solid pointing ability, and she is flat enough in her aft
sections for stable and fast reaching or downwind sailing. The ingenious layout with forward head and full chart table with decent seating gives the interior a particularly spacious feel. Those interested in more privacy will be happy to know that a version with closed aft cabin is also available.
Winner 11
The latest addition to the range is the brand-new Winner 11, which will be introduced in the course of 2016. This yacht, from the drawing boards of Simonis Voogd Design, is 11 metres of pure sailing pleasure. It will be available in a standard as well as a performance edition, the latter featuring a deep-draught keel and carbon rig for those looking for that little bit of extra. The finishing will be superlative down to the smallest detail.
Winner 12
The Winner 12 combines beauty, speed, pleasure and comfort – this is truly a yacht for the real sailing enthusiast. The Winner 12 is well-balanced, featuring a moderate beam and a well-distributed displacement. The narrow forefoot, combined with a flatter aft section, results in less water resistance, while a deep-fin keel with ballast bulb, together with a high aspect balance rudder, ensures considerable pointing ability. Steering is light and precise in all conditions and the spacious, comfortable interior meets the highest contemporary standards.
A new home in Medemblik
Previously housed in Enkhuizen, the yard moved in the summer of 2015 to the equally nautical Medemblik. Winner Yachts expects improved chances for growth in these new facilities, where it intends to develop many new models. The Medemblik location is easy to reach both by water and by road.
