Brief details |

Fa Gebr Maas, Breskens, Holland |
Breeons are extremely
pretty traditional yachts, built of top quality materials to very
high standards by Frans Maas in Holland. Although when designed
they were competitive racers, they now make a lovely moderate to
heavy displacement fast cruiser, with the advantage of comparatively
shallow draught. |

The 'Breeon' class was a racing
yacht design from early 1960s, and examples of the class proved
very successful racers. The example illustrated here started
life as an ocean racer, and was mentioned in an early edition
of Adlard Coles' "Heavy Weather Sailing", having
survived unscathed a 1964 storm in which another yacht and
one life was lost. She has since cruised extensively.
The example shown was a wooden hull on steel
frames, although quite a few were also built entirely in steel.
