1976 Jongert 19 S Ketch
About This Yacht
This 1976 Jongert 19 S Ketch was built by the renowned Jongert Shipyard in Medemblik, Netherlands, to a design by De Vries Lentsch and Peter Sijm. At 73 feet in length with a 16-foot beam, she is a steel-hulled ketch combining traditional Dutch yacht-building craft with offshore capability. Her classic profile and construction represent the hallmarks of quality from that era.
Below deck, the yacht features a warm interior finished in teak. The saloon is lit by large panoramic windows and provides a generous dining area to port and lounge seating to starboard. Four cabins offer accommodation: a full-beam master aft with ensuite bathroom, two twin guest cabins forward that share a large bathroom, and a separate crew area with its own access. Eight heads serve the yacht overall. A single Cummins diesel engine of 268 horsepower provides auxiliary power, with a cruising speed of seven knots under sail.
The ketch rig and her substantial hull form her as a capable offshore vessel, built to the standards Jongert established for seaworthy, long-range sailing yachts of this generation.
