Description

Overview
The Enksail Noordkaper is a steel sailing yacht series designed by Martin Bekebrede and built semi‑custom since 1999. Produced in lengths from about 43 to 52 feet, the range is intended for extended offshore cruising and liveaboard use, offering configurations adapted to long passages including high-latitude voyages and tropical passages.

Construction & Design
The Noordkaper features a steel hull with a classic, functional deck and interior layout. Boats are delivered with owner-specific options for equipment, interior arrangements and systems, enabling adaptation to crew size and intended cruising areas. The design includes a centerboard (retractable keel) variant for shallow waters and coastal access.

Examples & Gallery
Operational examples and interior layouts are documented in the gallery, with named yachts such as "Tante Rietje" and "Binky" illustrating typical finishes and arrangements for long-term cruising.

Videos
Walking-through and cover videos (including a Yachting World feature) demonstrate on-board arrangements, deck layout and sailing behaviour under way.
