De Vries Lentsch Bromo - Full Refit for sale

We are pleased to offer you this beautifully restored raised-deck classic. As befits a true classic, you are buying a piece of nautical history, a life story. The Bromo was built in 1932 to a design by Ir. J. Loeff, co-founder of the Waterkampioen, at G. de Vries Lentsch in Amsterdam. The two previous owners researched extensively, corresponded widely and managed to trace the intervening history. The “BROMO” was thoroughly restored between 1992 and 2008, from a completely new hull skin to completely new interior panelling, from a new engine to new electrics. Nevertheless, it is the original details that give the yacht her charm and élan. The lines speak for themselves: slender and elegant, and therefore with a beautiful sea-going behaviour. The finish is detailed throughout, from the toilet to the little lights beside the mirror, and from the original rocker switches to the solid mahogany light fittings. The complete restoration is of a rare high standard and is supported by photographs and documents. In 1992 the Bromo was stripped down to her frames. In the following years she was fitted with a new hull skin in Walsoorden (Zeeuws-Vlaanderen), fully blasted in Nieuwerkerk aan den IJssel and then coated with a two-component paint system with a base thickness of 640mu. The Caterpillar engine was installed by specialists in Papendrecht. The engine room is fully equipped with insulation panels and is well insulated. Also in Papendrecht, preparations were made for all the electrics for the generator, the inverter, steering and modern equipment such as radar, plotter, GPS, boiler and galley equipment, including refrigerator and hob. The 10kVA Lombardini generator offers sufficient capacity for a washing machine and/or microwave, should you wish to install one. The interior joinery was carried out to cabinetmaker standard by skilled shipwrights in Hardinxveld-Giessendam. The finish of beautiful mahogany and ebony details, the dovetail joints and the varnish work give the appearance of similar yachts from the 1930s. The toilet, a Baby Blake, is located in a separate washroom, and in the bow there is a separate shower compartment. The yacht is naturally fitted with a waste water tank. Throughout the yacht has a 200-year-old oak floor laid in a parquet pattern, with the screws concealed under wooden plugs. Aft is the skipper’s cabin, with a generously sized berth with two separate mattresses and a great deal of storage space. The settee in the forepeak can be arranged as a double berth as desired. On deck, the beautiful teak decking catches the eye, and the skylight and the hatch on the foredeck have been made to measure after the example of yachts of that period. The radar wiring has been cleverly concealed in the rail on the wheelhouse roof. An article about the Bromo was devoted to the watersports magazine De Waterkampioen, and we will send it to you on request. If you are interested, we warmly invite you to a viewing in Elburg. For questions and/or to make an appointment, you are most welcome 7 days a week at Elburg Yachting.
