A UNIQUE CHOICE

UNSINKABLE SAILING PLEASURE

2 3

EDITORIALDear sailing enthusiasts,

We are pleased to introduce you to the

entire range of our unsinkable ETAP

yachts.

First of all, we wish to announce the

successful launch of our new flagship,

the ETAP 46DS. For the interior of this

unique deck saloon yacht, we have

called upon the services of the world-

renowned designers Stile Bertone, who

have created a uniquely stylish decor.

The ETAP 46DS was chosen by a

specialist European jury as “European

Yacht of the Year” for its innovation,

and in the United Kingdom it won IPC

Media’s award for the category

“Sailboat over 40 ft”.

We then introduce the première of the

ETAP 28s: this new yacht boasts high

performance, sleek lines and stylish

accommodation, thanks to our collabo-

ration with Stile Bertone and Von Ahlen

Yachtdesign.

The ETAP 37s “Imbuya” special series

is also enjoying great success, and is

remarkable for its use of new types of

wood. The combination of Corian work

surfaces and a beautiful Alcantara

cushion set makes this special version a

unique and exclusive yacht.

We invite you to take a look by visiting

www.etapyachting.com. You will enjoy

a preview of the newest developments

at ETAP Yachting, and can find com-

plete technical information, a splendid

photo gallery, etc.

Would you like to inspect the new

designs for yourself? If so, we are

delighted to invite you to one of the

international boat shows or to ETAP’s

distributors. But first take your time to

browse through our brochure, and

enjoy….

We wish you happy reading and look

forward to seeing you soon.

THE SAFEST YACHTS IN THE WORLD…The start…

When ETAP Yachting began developing and producing sailing yachts in 1970, our

aim was to build the safest sailing yachts in the world. Besides selecting superb

materials and paying close attention to ergonomics, we felt it imperative that

ETAP yachts should be made unsinkable. The crews who entrusted themselves to

our yachts had to be sure of a safe voyage, even if their boat took in water.

How?

ETAP Yachting decided on a

unique, technically refined

construction method known

as the ETAP ship-in-ship

construction. In the ETAP

ship-in-ship construction,

the deck and hull are double-

skinned. The hollow space

between the two decks and

two hulls is filled with closed-

cell polyurethane foam. The

closed cell structure is almost

entirely non-absorbent and

gives the boat sufficient

buoyancy. Even if your ETAP

yacht does spring a leak, it

will remain stable and afloat,

with enough freeboard for

you and your crew. Thanks to our many years of experience, we can now inject

most of the foam into zones that remain unused even in single-mould boats,

minimising any loss of space.

Quality control – certification

How can we guarantee that your ETAP is truly unsinkable?

• We use computer simulations during the design phase

to calculate every last detail of your boat, leading to

above-standard stability and buoyancy.

• We perform practical tests to check that everything is

functioning as planned. We regularly carry out our tests

in the presence of boating press representatives to

prove that our boats are unsinkable.

• We occasionally receive reports on an ETAP boat

that has sustained heavy damage but remained afloat

and manoeuvrable thanks to the ETAP ship-in-ship

construction.

Many advantages

Over the years, we have continued to refine the ETAP

ship-in-ship principle, which now offers you a host of

advantages:

• Thanks to the unsinkability guarantee, you know that

your ETAP boat will stay afloat. You will never need to

abandon ship; you can calmly tackle any technical

problems and sail safely to the nearest port.

• The double-mould construction method also offers

highly efficient thermal and acoustic insulation. ETAP

boats are practically condensation-free, giving your

crew and equipment a much more pleasant environment

than on other boats.

• The double-skinned deck and hull mean a more rigid,

dimensionally stable structure.

The inner deck and inner hull allow us to give our yachts a

unique quality of finish: no need to use water-proof materials

or plastic in the decor; instead, the interior is made of sound

structural polyester, a low-maintenance, durable and aestheti-

cally pleasing material with long-lasting value.

Thanks to the confidence of so many thousands of cus-

tomers who prefer ETAP’s unique construction technology,

our company can call itself the world leader in unsinkable

yachts. That’s something to be proud of, and we’d like to

thank all our customers and staff!

SAFE, COMFORTABLEAND FAST:A THOROUGHBRED ETAPThe ETAP 21i has a surprisingly long water line

(6.10 metres) and a totally new hull designed by

Mortain and Mavrikios in cooperation with ETAP.

With a displacement of 1,180 kg (including a 300 kg

keel), dual rudder controls and a full 24 m2 of sail

area, the ETAP 21i has great appeal for competitive

sailors. The ETAP 21i is a superb family sailing yacht

too: its superbly designed internal layout offers

sleeping accommodation for 4 people, a roomy

main cabin, a functional corner galley and ample

stowage space. The ETAP 21i is easy to tow and

offers effortless launching straight from the trailer

when fitted with the ETAP tandem keel.

A PERFECT SYMPHONY OFSAILING PERFORMANCE,COMFORT AND SAFETYRight from its launch, the ETAP 24i was a trendsetter,

with its safe, deep cockpit, the flowing lines of its cabin

sofas, the recessed foredeck hatch and much more. In

short, the perfect harmony of this yacht is sure to

beguile you. But that’s only for starters: the new hull

design, which can be combined with different keel

options, carries a promise of excellent speed and safe

handling characteristics. All sailing manoeuvres can be

carried out from the shelter of the well-protected

cockpit. Awaiting you below deck is a comfortable,

practically condensation-free cabin with beautiful pear

laminate, a well-equipped galley unit and a separate

toilet compartment with wet stowage facilities. At your

option, your ETAP 24i can be equipped with an inboard

diesel engine with saildrive or with an outboard motor.

The ETAP 24i is easily trailered and ideally suited to

sailing cruises in inland and coastal waters.

LAKELAND WATERS IN FINLANDLakeland is something exceptional. Its sparkling

waters and unspoilt landscape offer sailors an un-

forgettable experience. The options are endless:

swimming on a hot summer day, fishing and preparing

your catch in the galley of your boat, visiting a small

island, or simply enjoying the beauty of the natural

surroundings. The Finnish lake district has many small

harbours with extensive facilities and hundreds of

places to moor. Lakeland’s towns and villages are the

scene of festivals and events to suit every taste. Our

home port is Kuopio.

IJSSELMEER – THE FRISIAN LAKESNORTH SEAThe 5-star Bouwsma Yacht Harbour – near the historic

town centre of Workum – offers you a wide choice of

sailing areas in which both family cruising parties and

sports sailing enthusiasts can be sure of finding their

ideal environment. The Frisian Lakes, with their

enchanting mixtures of out-of-the-way mooring

places and romantic villages, offer tranquillity and

relaxation for nature-loving sailors. In contrast, the

IJsselmeer is a paradise for sailors who appreciate the

rich tradition and delicious culinary fare of its small

fishing towns and welcoming restaurants. For the

more adventurous sailors, a cruise across the

Waddenzee to the North Friesland islands such as

Texel, Flieland and Terschelling offer the prospect of

a truly memorable sailing holiday.

BALTIC SEAAND THE DANISH ISLANDSSet sail from idyllic Schleswig (close to the Danish

border) or enchanting Rostock and discover the

delights of the Baltic Sea with its beautiful, peaceful

islands. The sheltered waters of this region offer

especially rewarding family cruising.

CÔTE D’AZURIts mild climate and superb sailing conditions have

made the port of Hyères the focus of Mediterranean

sailing. From this pretty port, you can sail easily to the

Porquerolles and St. Tropez Bay, while the Balearic

Islands, Sardinia and Corsica are just a slightly longer

cruise away.

THE SAFESTMOTOR YACHTIN THE WORLD!The ETAP 1100 AC shares the characteristics of its

sailboat cousins: safe, comfortable and innovative.

As are all ETAPs, the 1100 AC has a double-skinned

structure, thus making it unsinkable, is superbly

finished and is extremely strong. Its modern hull

design makes this motorboat ideal not only for

families and friends who want to enjoy safe water-

sporting out at sea, but also for cruising on large

inland lakes, canals and rivers. Naturally, the ETAP

1100 AC comes with the typical ETAP comfort to in-

crease your cruising pleasure, including an attractive,

panoramic saloon finished in cherrywood, a conveni-

ent galley, ample locker space, and the fore and aft

cabins even have separate bathrooms! The technically

advanced materials used in the construction of ETAP

1100 AC also make it extremely easy to clean, and

maintain its new appearance over many years of use.
