This is no ordinary Dehler Varianta 44, she benefits from a host of upgrades along with a recent comprehensive refit making this example very rare on the market. Designed by the acclaimed Judel/Vrolijk and built by Dehler (Hanse Group) in Bremen Germany, this cruiser racer is ideal for a club sailor or a family cruiser who enjoy the occasional regatta and that extra performance when out on the water.

The hull is based on the proven Hanse 430 and this particular example has a more extensive fit out making her that much more cruiser than racer with the additions of a full teak deck, interior wooden finish, custom dingy davits, solar panels and a impressive electronic battery system and navigation set up.

Built in 2011 to a 2012 model, she boasts a three cabin layout that comfortably sleeps seven with a single heads. The saloon is a very comfortable space that seats 6-8 people around a drop leaf dining table which cleverly hides a new Bushman portable fridge/freezer as you can never have to much fridge space on a yacht. Along with a very usable galley, this boat can be used for extended cruising allowing new owners the best of both worlds.

Available now and lying afloat in Phuket, Thailand. She is a wonderfully clean boat with an owner that has put a tremendous amount of work in to making her a standout example. Please get in touch with Jamie Allwork and Simpson Marine for more information and to arrange a viewing.

Owners comments

Originally the boat was bought new from Germany by a German couple where it was then delivered and commissioned in Goa, India in 2012. She received a refit in 2015 with a brand new teak deck laid on the cockpit, sides and coachroof along with a new wooden interior fit out. The boat has always been privately used and never chartered or grounded.

After taking ownership of the boat, a comprehensive refit was done in January 2023 at the Royal Phuket Marina with all new B&G electronic instruments, a full rigging survey, all new canvas sail covers, a new Winston LiFePo battery system, Winston Thunder Sky Lithium Ion battery bank, Six new solar panels, inverter, Victron regulators with onboard and remote monitoring along with a new gas system cooker, custom dingy davits. We also fitted a new Rolly Tasker mainsail along with new UV protection on the foresail.

Having been in the water during COVID in Langkawi, along with the above we stripped of all old bottom paint and allowed her to dry out for just under a month before professionally applying three coats of epoxy primer and three coats of antifouling. The topsides were then polished to within an inch of her life.

Onto the mechanical side where her extremely tidy Volvo D2-40 engine had a full service from Volvo AME Phuket in January 2023. The fuel and water tanks were cleaned inside and new sensors for both tanks fitted. All through hull fittings were replaced with TruDesign sea cocks. The electric windlass was serviced along with fitting the custom dingy davits, new stainless steel bowsprit and 60 metres of new galvanised anchor chain.

Currently Langkawi flagged, she is a fast yet comfortable cruiser ready to be enjoyed by new owners.
