The magnificent 3 mast schooner /"Leao Holandes/" that has been a majestic icon on the Tagus river for over 30 years, has come on the market. She started life around 1910 as a freighter in North European waters. After an adventurous life which included a circumnavigation in the 80ties she ended in Belgium   . There she was bought by her last owner who took her to Portugal for day trips and events. This historical classic Schooner will be an eye catcher and iconic attraction in any City harbour. For now she can be admired on appointment in Lisbon.

The owner of this very nice gaff schooner had one childhood dream; one day, he will build his dream yacht, a simple, timeless appearance and elegant gaff schooner; the one you can see when you close your eyes and imagine /"a nice sailboat/"... But all this was also inspired by the regatta experience he had and also by the Daniel BOMBIGHER's designs, this is the reason why Hervé COUTAND was appointed with the general hull shape and design. Wether the general lines were to be as classical as possible, the underwater design, with a very modern rigging (aluminium masts and Dyneema standing rigging) had to be efficient, no way to stick on the water... And here we are.

Mais son passé de régatier a apporté quelques modifications à cela, les dessins de Daniel Bombigher aussi, et c'est donc tout naturellement Hervé Coutand qui fut choisi pour la dessiner. Si la ligne devait rester classique, il fallait tout de même que la carène, servie par un gréement très moderne (mâts aluminium et gréement dormant Dyneema...) soit efficace, pas question de trainer de l'eau.
