The shipyard Jachtwerf Gebr. de Kloet B.V. produce the sailingyacht Midget only by order. Which means that by the Midget for instance the interior of the ship can be made according the special desires of the client. This “semi-custom” construction process creates a sailing yacht of which there does not exist a second one. The lines of the Midget 31´ have been derived from the classical form of the fishingboats from Lynaes, situated on the northcoast of the Danish island Seeland. For centuries this hullform is considered as ideal for fishingboats in the often rough waters of the Kattegat.
The Midget 31´ is the bigger version of the successful Midget 26´. She is a traditional styled ship on which several people can stay in a comfortable way for a longer period. According to the European CE directives the ship is classified in category "A". Category "A" means: "Designed for longer voyages in which the windforce can exceed Bf 8 and the characteristic wave height can be more than 4 meters".
The standard version of the Midget 31´ is a complete sailingyacht with a sleeping capacity for 6 people. The interior lay-out comprises a roomy saloon with a U-shaped sofa, double berths in two separated cabins aft, a galley and a toilet. Standard are the anchorwinch, the pressurized freshwatersystem, solid teak cockpit benches and grating, stove, oven and heatingsystem. As shipyard is constantly improving its products, a lot of accessories were developed in the course of time which are largely standard today. Almost all parts of new and used yachts, which were built on their premises, can be manufactured or ordered, such as:
- Stainless steel extension of the stemhead fitting with integrated plough anchor stowage and bow roller
- Stainless steel septictank
- Mastlowering device
- Stainless steel sprayhoodframe with handrail, etc.
All these parts can be purchased separately. Each owner has the possibility to improve the equipment or the comfort of his own yacht. Some adjustments can only be carried out on the yard.
