Unique and romantic gaff cutter in excellent condition!
Simon de Danser was built in 1981 at shipyard Kuijper in Schoorldam. The intention of the designer/builder was to build a beautiful and romantic little ship on which one could live and with which one could sail well. And we succeeded! After construction the ship was in Alkmaar. The original construction drawings and scale model of the ship are present.
