Daniel Bombigher designed his SHPOUNTZ schooners for long voyages: the hull shape, deck layout, rig sail plan and internal layout all contribute towards making them real marine homes. They are steady at sea, leaving no wake, even fully laden. The small draught provides easy access to estuaries and rivers. Her stability makes her comfortable to live well on board, regardless of the weather or the state of the sea, whether cooking, eating, sleeping or washing.

The sail plan is well spaced and easy to balance. The long keel slopes aft to optimise reaching. The centre board forward helps windward performance, and is adjustable to suit all headings.

The gaff schooner rig, sails virtually by touch whatever the conditions - at maximum efficiency with no effort, just like a big dinghy.

HOLLANDER is currently in remarkable condition; this vessel has benefitted from an owner who has meticulously maintained every last detail and equipped the boat to go anywhere - the interesting thing is; she is schooner rigged and her dimensions and layout would allow a family to live comfortably on an extended cruise and handle her easily. Now chartering she is benefitting from the close attention of her full time crew of 2.
