From Name to Naval Architecture, Skylge Is 100 Percent Dutch.
Waterfront: Homeland Classic

Holland Jachtbouw 141
Named with the Frisian word for the Dutch island of Terschelling in the North Sea, Skylge is the latest launch of Dutch shipyard Holland Jachtbouw. Topped by a carbon mast and complex rigging, the 141-foot Andre Hoek–designed schooner is built of aluminum to MCA code and features slim, low-freeboard lines, long overhangs and a modest pilothouse. She is rigged with popular high-aspect mainsails and roached foresails, while a lifting keel offers access to shallow waters. Ever versatile, the reverse transom schooner is ideal for racing as well as family cruising and charter. Her stately cherry veneer interior comprises an owner’s stateroom, VIP suite and two guest cabins. Following her launch, Skylge made her maiden voyage to Spain and then headed to the Caribbean.
