4. ACCOMODATION
Deck
Initial access to the yacht is either via the teak stairway on starboard that is lowered to water level or via the stern passarelle. Boarding via the passerelle, the aft deck seating area, which is fixed to the pulpit, is entered. Moving forward is the fixed deck superstructure, which functions as an exclusive dining table for up to 12 guests while at the same time creating interior space for the master cabin. Protected fixed deck seating is provided just aft of the deckhouse and bridge. Permanent biminis are placed over the deckhouse and the aft deck dining table, with an additional possibility of covering the entire deck area between the two fixed units. Forward of the deckhouse is ample space for sunbathing, part of which can be used for tender stowage during extensive voyages. At the bow is the entrance to the separated crew’s quarters.
Deckhouse
The deckhouse incorporates the navigation station with a large chart table and seating for 2 guests.
Lower Deck
Following the stairs down from the deckhouse the full beam saloon is entered. On port of the entry stairs is the beautifully wood crafted bar. On port there is a table with seating for 5 guests, on starboard is a dining space for up to 10.
Access to the compact but efficient galley is provided on port behind the bar area.
Forward of the saloon are two symmetrical double guest cabins both with en-suite bathroom. Both cabins have a dressing table and built-in safe. Natural light is provided through the portholes just above waterline level and prisms. Guest cabins are air conditioned and equipped with TV/VCR and CD player.
Cupboards, fridge, freezer, washing machine and dryer are all invisibly situated in the corridor aft of the saloon together with a separate toilet.
At the end of the corridor is the watertight enclosed machinery space. The deep long-keeled hull provides an enormous depth and space for all machinery, making everything easily accessible and maintainable. Through the machinery space the workshop with switchboards, chargers, inverters, watermaker and auto-pilot pump is reached.
Aft of the machinery space watertight bulkhead and door the aft cabins are accessed. Two upper-lower guest cabins share the bathroom on starboard, the midships cabin being somewhat smaller than the starboard one.
Finally, in the stern the generous master cabin is entered, which, due to the fact that follows the shape of the stern, shows a beautiful play of levels and charpentry underneath what is the deck dining table. The cabin is flooded with natural light thanks to the six portholes, placed below the dining table surface. En-suite with the mastercabin is a separate heads, through which the teak-finished double jacuzzi is reached.
The crew’s quarters are situated in the bow and are accessed only via the exterior. Space for four crew is provided with an en-suite bathroom.
Tankhold, Storage Spaces and Lazarette
Via a floor hatch in the hallway between the two forward guest cabins the tankhold is accessed. This space extends below the entire saloon and the forward guest cabins and holds three 1200l stainless steel fresh water tanks and five 1200l stainless steel fuel tanks. In between the tanks is the service battery bank with an ample bilge depth below it and floorboards above the batteries enable large storage. Forward of the tanks is the air conditioning unit on starboard and the water pressure system on port. Towards the stem are the waste water tank serving the forward guest cabins and the crew cabin on port and access to the chain locker on starboard.
The lazarette is reached via a hatch on the aft deck. Here, the hydraulic steering gear is easily serviceable and storage is created for spares etc.

10. COMMENTS
The current owner bought White Heather in 1995 and undertook a major restoration in 1996 / 1997 in the Netherlands. The aim of the restoration was to adapt her interior for charter purposes and to incorporate modern comforts as well as to ensure trouble-free operation for the years to come. About 60% of the interior is new and of the highest standards of charpentry. The boat was fitted with all new systems, wiring, tubing, pumps, engine, generators, airconditioning etc. New masts were stepped with new rigging and sails.
Since May 1997 the boat has been used for both private and charter purposes, always offsetting her running costs with the charter revenues. The Winters of 1997/98 and 1998/99 were spend in the Caribbean, but ever since she has only operated in the Mediterranean. This scenario allowed for extended and more profitable Summer seasons and time in Winter to keep the boat in excellent condition. The machinery and rigging have always been thoroughly and professionally serviced and any malfunctioning component replaced. It is therefore that this yacht can continue operation for many years to come without requiring a major refit.
Because White Heather was built as an ocean cruiser she has an extremely strong structure. Her volumous hull gives interior space and comforts that are normally not found in many (racing) classics of this size. All this gives White Heather an exclusive elegance of style, solidity and reliability.
She is a classic that can be operated with the intensity of a modern boat. Moreover, the fact that her systems are all-inclusive but uncomplicated and easily accessible makes for easy maintenance at reduced cost.
As the owner’s representative we believe that White Heather is attractive value for money and that due to her luxury character she should not only be of great interest to classic yacht lovers but to anyone affiliated with style and reliability. Please note that together with the boat the owner is also offering the Netherlands Antilles holding company for sale.
