DEFINING A DECADE: TRULY CLASSIC 78 ‘BONTEKONING’

The Truly Classic 78 ‘Bontekoning’ was designed by Hoek Design and launched in 2006. In 2021, she underwent a comprehensive refit in Alicante, carried out by VMG Yachtbuilders, to prepare her for new voyages including an Atlantic crossing.

The refit included a full exterior restoration. Her teak deck was recaulked, varnished elements were refreshed, and the hull, cockpit, bulwark, and mast were given a new finish. New standing and running rigging were added, along with a fresh set of sails to enhance her performance under sail.

Technically, ‘Bontekoning’ was brought up to date with a full navigation and communication upgrade and key mechanical improvements. With her classic looks restored and systems modernised, she was ready for the open ocean once again.
