VK Yacht Designers and Builders firm of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers.

The V53 Classic - Schooner design combines long keel hull form (well known for the seakeeping characteristics and steerability) and a extended classic schooners sail plan. The steel construction design offers high strength and minimum maintenance in an optimum strength to weight ratio. The pilot house is placed aft which increases the functionality of the cockpit. The ergonomy of the cockpit allows sailing with a reduced number of crew. The design of the interior offers classic style and comfortable living at sea in long term.
