Randmeer
In the Netherlands, a “randmeer” is a body of water next to land reclaimed from the sea. Flevoland province (map), in the heart of Holland, is an example. It’s ringed by a dozen or so “randmeren,” lakes that are not just part of the Dutch water management works and also great sailing waters .
Randmeer
De Randmeer has been the open cockpit sailboat of choice for sporty sailors for more than 50 years. It came off the boards of renowned naval architect E.G. van de Stadt and won him the first prize in a 1958 contest of the Dutch watersports federation. To this day, the boat’s comfort, beautiful lines, roomy cockpit, speed and maneuverability make it an extremely popular craft.
We gave it its first restyling in 1992. The well-known Randmeer Classic got 2 siblings the Randmeer Touring and the Randmeer Advance. Both have been very successful. A second makeover, in 2008, again led to a more contemporary look, still based on the boat’s successful concept but with more charisma, a modern design and a choice of modern colors.
Surprisingly different!
Comfort and looks
Key to the Randmeer's cockpit and deck design are sailing comfort and looks. The cockpit's modern, slanted coaming offers a great deal of seating comfort. And the modern deck layout gives the Randmeer a contemporary look. Also new: the lighter, easy-to-lower Neutmast.
Another Randmeer novelty: a standard, multi-purpose inboard railing that can be used to secure fender lines and your luggage, support the cockpit benches and even a stove! Also new in the Randmeer is integrated deck support. It not only gives the Randmeer the required structural strength, but also its appealing 'boaty' looks.
