The Van de Stadt Offshore 8 is of GRP construction throughout and has been described as a comfortable, safe and economical five berth family cruiser. The hull has a skeg type rudder giving excellent, light and yet responsive handling. Stiff and dry in a seaway she still sails well in light airs and has good performance downwind. Well presented, these boats still cut a dash.

Broker's Comments

Register with Boatshed to see 56 extra photos of this Offshore 8m

These boats have often been described as a ‘go anywhere boat’ and were built in the days when the strength of GRP was not fully realized and were therefore very heavily laid up. She is a little gem of a boat, one of the nicest older generation boats we have seen. Beautifully presented, with a fresh coat of antifoul and, subject to any survey, we believe she is ready to launch and in a sail away condition.
The one possible modification required, particularly for a young family, is the addition of guard rails.
If you are looking for your first cruiser, this boat should be top of your list of boats to view.

These boat details are subject to contract.
