1971 Van de Stadt 45 Pimpernel

The Basics

COQUETTE is a limited production, masthead rigged sloop, FRP, center-cockpit, with a fin keel, spade rudder, and deck-stepped mast. It was designed by E. G. Van de Stadt of the Netherlands and built by J. F. Magee in South Africa. The vessel is powered by a 55 HP diesel engine.

The Layout

There is chain locker access from inside the forward cabin. The forward cabin has a double pullman berth to port, dressing seat to starboard. Aft of that to port is the main stateroom, double pullman berth. Starboard to that is the head. Aft of these is the saloon. To port is a 5-person dinette w 2 benches facing each other over a table. There is ample storage beneath the benches and along the hull. To starboard is a heater, storage, and bench seating. There is a ss rail starboard to the centerline preventing falling into the heater/bench and provides a solid handhold. Aft of the dinette is a snug, well-designed C-shaped galley. Aft of the starboard settee is a chart table. Aft of that is a quarter berth to sleep one. The companionway is between the galley and chart table. Headroom will comfortably accommodate anyone 5′ 10″ or shorter. In the cockpit is access to the aft cabin. This sleeps two along the starboard side, with seating and storage to port.
