History of the Quadra
The Quadra was built in the late 1980s at a German shipyard. Despite its age, the vessel was never completed and has never sailed, so there is little history to tell.
The first owner had it built based on the design of the Lelanta II by John Alden but never went beyond completing the hull. The second owner wanted to turn it into a motorsailer and shortened the vessel, significantly reducing the keel as well. In 2012, the hull was sold to a Dutch owner, who intended to restore it as a sailing ship, but only made modifications to the superstructures.
In 2020, the current owners purchased the hull to bring the original classic sailing yacht, based on the Lelanta II design, back to life. Construction began in the fall of 2021 and is expected to continue until the fall of 2025. From 2026, you will be able to enjoy beautiful sailing trips on the Quadra.
